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.

Description (please include examples/screenshots where applicable)

My browser is Microsoft Edge. I can't believe you all forgot about Edge.

The title says it all.

Just to explain everything, "Watch on YouTube" completely redirects me to the goddamn homepage of whatever website it was embed in, and Archive.org is a complete block.

I confirmed it by disabling the extension, and it worked. I expected it to get rid of the malicious redirects that I get in some sites, but instead, it made my browsing experience much worse. I want to report the extension to the Chrome Web Store right now.

I deleted the extension, and I won't redownload it until things are improved.
