## Description

**Link Redirect Fixer** is a Chrome extension designed to prevent websites from redirecting you to different URLs than those explicitly linked. Many links on webpages have deceptive formats where the visible link points to one URL but redirects to another when clicked. This extension intercepts such behavior and guarantees that the originally linked URL is what opens in your browser.

Unlike other link cleaners, it does not modify page content or slow down your browsing. It ensures seamless and safe navigation by fixing links on click, without interfering with clipboard copying. For optimal performance, users are advised not to have other link cleaner extensions active simultaneously.

With its easy installation and minimal permissions, Link Redirect Fixer enhances your web experience by restoring trust and control over the links you click.
