[Feature Request] Rules for redirected pages #161

Closed aimtsou closed 9 years ago

aimtsou commented 9 years ago

It would be great if we could add a ruleset in a way that we can avoid certain urls and go directly on them. IE:

www.xxxxx.com/id=number and when you click on the video to get id=number&vid=number and proceed this page instead of the one which goes through the redirection

Like instead of following going a redirects chain a→b→c you want to go right a→c? I don't really get your point, but if that's it, it is not possible because it would require some kind of prediction on where would b lead, which is not possible in general without loading b first.

Please farther explain what is the expected behavior and the behavior we have currently.

I also want similar feature: integrated in Policeman redirect cleaner. Like diegocr/CleanLinks · GitHub, or Redirect Cleaner (deleted for some reason from AMO by author). But this is goes beyond the scope of Policeman mission and require, probably, a lot of work.

If that's the proposed thing, it's not something that fits into policeman's purpose.

I want with a ruleset defined, while clicking on b and is detected by ruleset to go directly to c. Isn't that possible?

@aimtsou Sounds like what CleanLinks does, It's a nice feature but it does not fit well into what policeman is doing.

aimtsou commented 9 years ago

I thought this would be nice because especially some sites with videos have certain video ads so that could be a nice workaround. But anyway thanks for your feedback
