Skip Redirect Extension

Skip Redirect
=====================
Some web pages use intermediary pages before redirecting to a final page. This webextension tries to extract the final url from the intermediary url and goes there straight away if successful. As an example, try this url:

- www.google.com/chrome/?or-maybe-rather-firefox=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mozilla.org/

Please give feedback(see below) if you find websites where this fails or where you get redirected in a weird way when this add-on is enabled but not when it's disabled.

See the add-on's preferences (also available by clicking the toolbar icon) for options.

By default all URLs but the ones matching a no-skip-urls-list are checked for embedded URLs and redirects are skipped. Depending on the pages visited, this can cause problems. For example a dysfunctional login. The no-skip-urls-list can be edited to avoid these problems. There is also a skip-urls-list mode to avoid this kind of problem altogether. In skip-urls-list mode, all URLs for which redirects should be skipped need to be added to the skip-urls-list manually.

Some websites use multiple url parameters like this:

`www.example.com/page-we-want-to-skip?first=www.want-to-go-here.com&second=www.do-not-care-about-this-url.com`

Skip Redirect does not know which is the right parameter, but you can edit the no-skip-parameter-list. Adding `first` would skip to the URL of `second` and vice versa. Adding both, `first` and `second` would cause no skipping.

Moo Scree (ID: 00000084547bf9b7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/12/2024 Still works very well for me! The blacklist feature (called "No-skip-urls-list") supporting regular expressions is most welcome. Skip Redirect is simply the best of any redirect type extension, because it seems to be the only one that can block all types of redirects globally and you can add exceptions as needed. Other extensions that work on only a short list of specific sites or where you have to manually add your own links are just way too cumbersome to use well. Hopefully an MV3 update is forthcoming but it looks like the extension is no longer being worked on, unfortunately.
