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)

The Skimfeed links aggregator currently uses a redirect to track clicks, it would be nice if the redirect could be stripped off.

For example https://skimfeed.com/r.php?q=2tech&l=11837978&u=https://lifehacker.com/how-to-limit-spotify-from-tracking-you-because-it-know-1847496516 should simply be https://lifehacker.com/how-to-limit-spotify-from-tracking-you-because-it-know-1847496516

Thanks!

Strange, but it works here just as you would like to.

Yes, it just works. You might have switched Skip Redirect off or enabled Skip redirects only for URLs matching any of the lines in the skip-urls-list. or have something funny in your No-skip-urls-list.
