Redirect Blocker protects your privacy and speeds up loading times, removing tracking and unnecessary redirects from your browsing.
Redirect Blocker: Enhance Browsing Experience
'Redirect Blocker' is a Chrome extension that enhances user privacy and browsing speeds by removing redirections set up by sites for tracking or monetization purposes. Its advantages are evident in social networks, search engines, deals sites, and many others. The extension works by locally decrypting URLs when visible to the user, and using its data engine when hidden. It's designed to learn from and analyze suspicious sites performing unwanted redirections for removal, and allows users to whitelist sites. Ideal for use alongside AdBlockers, Redirect Blocker offers a more comprehensive solution for those seeking optimal web browsing experiences.

Extension summary
Redirect Blocker removes the redirections that sites set up to track you, monetize their links, or for their statistics. With Redirect Blocker, the protection of your privacy is improved as well as the time it takes to load pages.
Websites concerned
- Social networks: Facebook, Pinterest....
- Search engines: Baidu, Yahoo....
- Reductions/deals sites: raddins, dealabs ...
- Advertising and affiliation agencies: doubleclick googleadservices... Many other sites are being added as we go along.
Mode of operation
- Url decryption: Redirect Blocker will decrypt the url locally if the destination site is visible, or via its data engine when the destination is hidden.
- Learning: When a suspicious site performs unwanted redirections, Redirect Blocker detects and analyzes it to eventually remove the redirection. You can also report sites by contacting us by email.
- WhiteList: By clicking on the module icon in the action bar, you can whitelist a site. Redirect Blocker is recommended in addition to AdBlockers. AdBlock Plus, uBlock Origin, AdGuard, Ghostery... don't process redirections or will block you without the possibility of avoiding tracking. Redirect Blocker will transparently bypass these links to take you directly to the destination page.
