Dr.Ne0Gen3tic (Forensic Buro of Quantum) (ID: 000000804fbaeac1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/19/2022 It works really, really well and was also finally updated in 2022! I would find that very great because the functionality is no longer guaranteed! But now this extension works again. This extension also only does the following: you are redirected from source to destination, so you get directly to the "target." It doesn't prevent forwarding, but it prevents the "in between" forwarding so that you are "put through" directly to the actual "destination" of the forwarding. But if the actual destination of the redirect is not the website you think it is, then of course this doesn't work! But this extension works correctly!

Clark (ID: 00000068948197ad) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/16/2022 This extension does not work; in fact, it doesn't do anything at all. The last time that it was updated by its developer was over 8 years ago.
