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.

[x] I can reproduce the problem on the latest stable version (not nightly!)
[x] If you have a problem with a specific website: adding the domain to your no-skip-urls-list does not solve the problem
[x] The issue is not about adding entries to the default no-skip-urls-list

Description (please include examples/screenshots where applicable)
When clicking on a link that looks like https://tracking-domain.com/?url=example.com, with uBO installed and a filter like ||tracking-domain.com^ (AKA block everything from that domain), Skip Redirect will report a successful redirect to example.com, but the browser will navigate to the uBO page that says, "uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:…" and stay there.
For example, ensure that "Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list" is enabled in uBO, then go to isthereanydeal.com, and click the link to view a game on GreenManGaming.
This looks like a limitation in the way that the browser handles multiple extensions trying to modify the same network request.
