Javadoc Redirector Extension

Are you tired of getting Javadoc search results from Java 7?
Not anymore! Because 'Javadoc Redirector' automatically redirects you from those Java 7 pages to Java 8 ones!

A simple extension that just redirects you from e.g. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html to the Java 8 equivalent: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html as different search machines still show Java 7 as first result.
