Steam Community Redirect Bypass

Skips the link filter page when clicking a link in Steam chat

What is Steam Community Redirect Bypass?

Steam Community Redirect Bypass is a Chrome extension that allows users to bypass the link filter page in Steam chat, providing immediate redirection to the intended link without requiring the user to click the 'continue' link. This extension should be used by advanced users who can differentiate between official and unofficial sites, and should never enter personal information after following suspicious links.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Valve's Steam client (which I am not affiliated with in any way shape or form) has a feature intended to protect users from phishing scams. Upon clicking any non-Valve link in the chat portion of the Steam client, users are redirected to a link filter page. This page informs the user that the link they clicked is not a Valve site and not to enter any personal information.

Users of both the Google Chrome browser (with it set as the system default) and Steam's client can install this plugin to immediately redirect away from their link filter page, without requiring the user to click the "continue" link. Note that this extension, in a sense, undermines a security feature and as such should only be used by advanced users. Again, please only install this extension if you're good at differentiating between official and unofficial sites, and never enter your personal information after following a suspicious link.

it doesn't work at all

Got rid of annoying redirect screen. No Bells. No Whistles. It's exactly what I wanted.

A much needed extension if you use Steam. A++, 11 out of 10, would install again.
