Redirect Link

why cant you just make it so you have a website and then that websites redirect why does it need to be so complex

Very unintuitive, lacks documentation. Couldn't get simple regex patterns to work. Had to guess my way and reverse-engineer the issues in github repository. Does not support exclusions. Eventually moved to a different extension.

Hello. How can I redirect an url to example.com without https:// or www. or page path? I want to do something like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=example.com, and NOT https://www.google.com/search?q=www.example.com. I don't know how to use Regex formula inside this extension. I think something like %d to exclude https, www, and page path will be very helpful.

Depends a little bit what you want. Do you want it to be always redirected? In that case after new Chrome extension API the format is different than otherwise. If you want always, then: Enable URL: ^https://www\.google\.com/search\?q=(?:[^.])*(example\.com)$ URL: https://\1 If not always, then: Enable URL: ^https://www\.google\.com/search\?q=(?!.*?\.)*example\.com$ URL: https://%q[q] This with little testing.

Very useful extension for custom query. Please update for new Chrome version!

Very useful. Thanks!

Exactly what I needed, thank you! I'm using this to modify my JIRA link and extending the URL with additional JQL. Perfect.

It won't work. It doesn't redirect "www.youtube.com" to "www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions"

Hi. I am the developer. What is in the URL field? I might have made a stupid decision to append the whole URL to the URL field if there is no format used. So, I think you can put this https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions#%p for example to the URL field. I tried and this worked for me. I think I will remove the automatic appending of the whole URL if no format is used. And for future, you need have https:// in front of the address in URL field, that isn't automatically added and it needs to be there.
