sblask-webextensions / webextension-skip-redirect

Some web pages use intermediary pages before redirecting to a final page. This add-on tries to extract the final url from the intermediary url and goes there straight away if successful.

Description (please include examples/screenshots where applicable)

Links originating from slack website don't seem to be affected by this addon. I always land on the https://slack-redir.net/ link before being redirected to the correct website.

I am sure that it works in general because I just tried and the redirect was skipped. It might be that you use blacklist mode and the link you clicked contains something from the blacklist. I use whitelist mode and I have https://slack-redir.net/link* on it.

Hi,

@sblask thank you for this useful extension.

FYI. it also works fine in Vivaldi.

I like that lil trick with 307 Temporary redirect. Simple yet effective :+1: slack-redirect

Here's my config: I've added *://slack-redir.net/link?url=* to whitelist: image

PS. just to be 100% sure that slack redirects are blocked I've added 0.0.0.0 slack-redir.net to /etc/hosts.
