Does not work well with blog hosted on Medium

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.

Does not work well with blog hosted on Medium #135

I tried to use the extension with a blog which is hosted on Medium, but it's not working.

Please use the extension to access this https://blog.zeplin.io/organizing-screens-in-zeplin-with-tags-128dc3ed0749 then you'll see the problem.

Add medium.com/ to blacklist. You can see here https://github.com/crssi/Firefox/blob/master/Skip_Redirect-Blacklist.txt

For searchability, what happens with Medium + custom domains + Skip Redirect is a "too-many-redirects" case, ending up with Firefox throwing the towel with error:

The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to blog.zeplin.io.
