Overview
Local pattern-based URL redirection.
URL Redirect is a lightweight browser extension that gives you fine-grained, rule-based control over where every link and navigation request actually lands. Instead of passively accepting the web’s ever-growing maze of tracking hops, vanity domains, and staging URLs, you can declare your own mapping—“if a URL matches X, seamlessly open Y instead”—and the browser will enforce it instantly inside its network stack. Real-world scenarios you’ll wish you’d solved sooner Privacy front-ends at scale. One rule blocks a dozen trackers by sending any Reddit URL to libreddit. Another negates YouTube’s autoplay by hopping over to an Invidious instance. The difference in CPU load on low-end Chromebooks is startling. Speed-up link previews. Replace every https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=* with a text-only reader view to load articles instantly on a metered connection. Nail-free micro-blocking. Rather than bulkier ad blockers, a single wildcard rule can sinkhole the half-dozen redirect domains used by your region’s top ad network.
