Breaks support.steampowered.com Steam Support article links #85

Closed AmperAndSand closed 4 years ago

AmperAndSand commented 4 years ago

With this extension enabled, links to specific support.steampowered.com Steam Support articles, e.g. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8625-wrah-9030 get redirected to the main Steam Support page at https://help.steampowered.com/en/ instead of to the expected article page.

This will not allow you to view the specific articles, probably because the ?ref=8625-wrah-9030 part gets removed. There should either be an exception for this or a way to allow users to configure exceptions for specific URLs.

This should be fixed now in version 5.0.0. Closing.
