## Description

Intercept Redirect is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by bypassing unnecessary tracking redirects. Instead of loading intermediate redirect pages that track your clicks and waste valuable time, this extension intercepts network requests targeted at known redirect services and skips them directly to the final destination.

By requesting minimal permissions only on the redirect domains, Intercept Redirect ensures your privacy remains protected without modifying the content of the web pages you visit. Users can view the full list of supported redirect domains on the official page. This extension is perfect for users who want a faster, cleaner browsing flow without compromising on data privacy.
