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)

On google.com search for a product, such as "mtape usb label printer" A top line of ads shows up (A "g-scrolling-carousel") If you hover over the links it shows the final URL in the status bar, but the URL of the link doesn't include this destination. Clicking on the links just lands you on the google home page (with skip-redirect enabled).

Similar results for other types of "ad" links from search results.

This is a site specific problem, you can add it to no-skip-urls-list if it causes you problems.
