Chrome Intent Url Fixer

🚀 OVERVIEW Chrome Intent URL Fixer is a specialized utility designed to stop websites from forcing you out of your browser. Many sites detect Android user agents and attempt to trigger "intent://" redirects to launch the Google Chrome app—usually because Chrome on Android lacks extension support for adblockers.

This extension kills those redirects and converts them back into standard HTTPS links, keeping you in your current browser with your adblocker active.

⚠️ NOTE: This extension patches URL behavior only; it does not modify your User-Agent string.

🛡️ THE FOUR-LAYER DEFENSE SYSTEM To ensure no site can force an app-switch, the extension fights back across four distinct layers:

1. Network-Level Interception Before a server redirect (3xx) even reaches your browser, the extension intercepts and rewrites the "Location: intent://" header. The app-open trigger is neutralized before the browser can ever act on it.
2. Direct Navigation Blocking If a tab attempts to navigate to an intent URL through other means, the extension catches it via the tabs API and immediately replaces the destination with the equivalent HTTPS URL.
3. Request Blocking (Belt-and-Suspenders) As a fail-safe, the extension monitors all outgoing requests. Any request headed for an intent:// scheme is intercepted on the spot and redirected to a secure web URL.
4. DOM Link Patching & Script Protection The extension scans every page for <a> tags containing intent links and rewrites them in real-time. • MutationObserver: Automatically patches links injected dynamically by ad scripts after the page loads. • Monkey-Patching: window.open() is modified to prevent scripts from using it as a bypass to trigger the Chrome app.
