Feature Request: Bypass External Link Filter #899

Open ghost opened 10 years ago

When clicking a link which leads outside of YouTube, there's an irritating redirection page which requires you to click the link a second time before you can leave. If this could be bypassed, it would make YouTube slightly less annoying!

Thanks :)

I love how stupid google is

The previous page is sending you to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4H2JHp5XOQ. If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to YouTube.

I'm not sure if it is another addon I am already using, but I am not getting redirected like you are describing on FF or Chrome.

I get the triangle, but the link goes directly to the YouTubeCenter developer page in one click.

Hmm, I wonder if it's only something that happens when you're logged out. I don't have a YouTube account, so maybe that's why I'm getting the redirection page. Do you login to YouTube, Overwatching? If not, I guess that sinks my theory haha.

Feature request: PREVENT external link filter (Redirect Notice) from ever editing URLs I click on.

Hi,

This normally seamless link hijacking experience goes almost unnoticed by the average user. But it is still very annoying. Wasting my time (redirecting adds an extra step before the desired page loads) and my CPU's computing cycles.

Link clicks fire off a javascript function and overwrite the link you were about to click on. This behavior is extremely shady and uncalled for. Doesn't really protect the user from clicking on potentially bad links either, it's just click tracking. (I wish I could "yell" this complaint straight at YouTube, but it has become a faceless entity long ago.)

You start to see the ugly "Redirect Notice" page once your redirect token expires too.

Once a link is clicked on, its href is overwritten with the ugly redirect link. If you try to right click and copy the link URL after, you get that new href which is completely unusable (by my standards) and you have to fully reload the page to get the virgin URL again...

Example: My beautiful links like: http://3ice.hu/

are turned into monstrosities, like: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2F3ice.hu%2F&redir_token=Okyxbg9nFx_Q8sYx9xzgCpJvtxz8MTQxxTgzMxc1MEAxNDx1xzQxMzxw

I'd like to be able to disable it.

At the moment I am writing a separate userscript that unregisters all links' onclick event handlers upon load, which effectively prevents the hijack. It is rather crude though. Something more sophisticated would be nice. Something that only targets links in the video description, for example. Or finds the responsible function and kills it by unregistering only its own events.

Thanks, Daniel "3ICE" Berezvai

I will see what I can do.
