Redirection works using the declarativeNetRequest api. Bing search pages are redirected to a temporary extension redirect page that will in turn redirect to the user's default search engine or directly to some sites using shortcut keywords.
This works on most chromium browsers, however on Edge the extension redirect page is blocked as noted in #15.
For this extension to work on edge the following compromises were made:
Shortcut keywords (like "youtube") will open up in search engine and not redirect directly to the site
The redirect counter will not work and has been disabled
