Features & Capabilities

Skip past known redirection links and go directly to the target website. Dodge tracking and speed up browsing.

Warning: many of the redirection services that are skipped by this extension are there to improve security and/or privacy by warning about malicious websites and changing the referrer header. Firefox has built-in mechanisms to help with both of these, but it may need further configuration.

Features include:

Configurable redirects: add rules for whatever cases you run into.
Shortcutting common DuckDuckGo bangs: avoid contacting DuckDuckGo just to be redirected to another search engine.
Default support for many common redirects, including ones used by 4chan, Disqus, Facebook, Google (including YouTube), Instagram, Reddit, Slack, Steam, and Tumblr.
Default support for avoiding the hosted AMP cache.

Is Direct Links Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Direct Links requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Direct Links is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
