Full summary
Skip Redirect Some web pages use intermediary pages before redirecting to a final page. This webextension tries to extract the final url from the intermediary url and goes there straight away if successful. As an example, try this url: www.google.com/chrome/?or-maybe-rather-firefox=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mozilla.org/ Please give feedback(see below) if you find websites where this fails or where you get redirected in a weird way when this add-on is enabled but not when it's disabled. See the add-on's preferences (also available by clicking the toolbar icon) for options. By default all URLs but the ones matching a no-skip-urls-list are checked for embedded URLs and redirects are skipped. Depending on the pages visited, this can cause problems. For example a dysfunctional login. The no-skip-urls-list can be edited to avoid these problems. There is also a skip-urls-list mode to avoid this kind of problem altogether. In skip-urls-list mode, all URLs for which redirects should be skipped need to be added to the skip-urls-list manually. Some websites use multiple url parameters like this: `www.example.com/page-we-want-to-skip?first=www.want-to-go-here.com&second=www.do-not-care-about-this-url.com` See more	Block harmful urls (if you import the anti-spam redirects file), redirect with regular expressions and protect yourself against mining(tested with website https://cryptojackingtest.com/). Setup quick redirects suiting your needs or make Chrome autoclose tabs when you get redirected to an unwanted website. Cryptojacking is the unauthorized use of someone else’s computer to mine cryptocurrency. Hackers do this by either getting the victim to click on a malicious link in an email that loads crypto mining code on the computer, or by infecting a website or online ad with javaScript code that auto-executes once loaded in the victim’s browser.ither way, the crypto mining code then works in the background as unsuspecting victims use their computers normally. The only sign they might notice is slower performance or lags in execution.But fear not, this extension will block infected websites scripts from executing in your computer. If you are inside a website doing such practice, extension icon's will change showing a blue exclamation mark. This will be recorded in Cryptojacking Log Tab.
