Sergei Genchev (ID: 0000004cb440dcf0) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/19/2022 This is a typical geek's "works for me" extension. It is only enabled at gmail. I suppose it is possible to open it up and change/add/update URLs if you are a developer. If you do not know how to do it, and want it working outside of gmail, don't bother.

Free (ID: 000000a078684293) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/17/2021 Good! But in order to work in gmail, it needs to be modified to unwrap google redirects as well: this.gmail_pattern = new RegExp(String.raw`https://www.google.com/url\?q=.*`); var google_match = this.gmail_pattern.exec(rewritten_url); if (google_match) { rewritten_url = return new URL(rewritten_url).searchParams.get('q'); }
