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)

Google has recently started to notice its users that they are being redirected somewhere when using the feature "I'm feeling lucky".

"Skip-redirect" fixes this new behaviour for most of the query except for when trying to access the reddit login page.

How to reproduce: Click here and see that instead of going directly to reddit login page you have the "you are being redirected" advice, even with the skip-redirect addon installed: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.reddit.com/login&BtnI=1

login is on the default blacklist. You can remove it there. but that might break many other pages.
