Redirector Extension

This simple extension allows you to redirect urls using the power of regular expressions.

For example, you can have all mobile Wikipedia urls to open in desktop mode (this is convered in the tutorial below).

You could also redirect to non-browser schemes to launch external apps. For example,If you want youtube links to open in a desktop video app (such as minitube), you can redirect all youtube urls with a \"youtube:\" prefix, and then set up a scheme handler on your OS to pass youtube: urls to your player.
