Redirect Blocker

Redirect Blocker protects your privacy and speeds up loading times, removing tracking and unnecessary redirects from your browsing.

What is Redirect Blocker?

'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.

WhiteList: By clicking on the module icon in the action bar, you can whitelist a site. Redirect Blocker is recommended in addition to AdBlockers.
