I entered "www.google.com" into the redirect address, and this ended in a deadly redirect loop.
For example:
Enter in www.facebook.com
Page redirects to https://www.facebook.com/www.google.com
Page redirects to https://www.facebook.com/wwwgooglecom/www.google.com (a FB 404 error, not a redirect from the extension)
Page redirects to https://www.facebook.com/www.google.com
Back to step 3...
Another scenario that I encountered once when testing this was that it stopped at step 3: it essentially bypassed the block. (Only once, however— it might just have been slow to redirect)
Can we automatically add in the http:// or https:// if not in the redirect address to avoid relative links, or alert the user to use full, absolute URLs?
