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.

Any http://web.archive.org/ URL like http://web.archive.org/web/20230117161921/https://www.wikipedia.org/ is redirected to the source page i.e. https://www.wikipedia.org/, adding only http://web.archive.org/ to No-skip-urls-list does not help, maybe because Firefox is set to always use https (but does not do that for web.archive.org). Adding both https://web.archive.org/ http://web.archive.org/ helps. Adding only https://web.archive.org/ though does not help for http://web.archive.org/... either, but adding only /web.archive.org/ does help in both http and https cases (but maybe also makes anything slip through that only contains it not as host.domain part?)

IMHO *://web.archive.org/ should never be redirected.

I'm also having the same issue with Firefox and Arch Linux.

https://*.archive.org/*

Should meet Mozilla's standard of matching including *. requirement in the host portion and a wildcard path

Edit: Didn't see the pull request until after I posted, thanks

Also https://search.google.com/search-console/links?resource_id=<uri> is redirected, although in this case it is a feature rather than a bug :wink:. Anyway, some sort of blacklist of sites where Skip Redirect would be disabled will be great.

This is what the no skip lists are for, but I am not maintaining this for the whole Web.
