Redirect Google Redirects

Redirect requests to google.com/url directly

Redirect Google Redirects - Chrome Extension

"Redirect Google Redirects" is a practical Chrome extension designed to improve your browsing efficiency. Rather than routing through Google, it intercepts requests made to google.com/url and navigates you directly to the actual URL. However, it does not alter the URLs in links. This extension helps save time and streamline your online navigation.

As of the last few months, the extension stopped working can you update it?

Successfully skips the "Redirect Notice" page from address bar I'm Feeling Lucky searches, HOWEVER for some reason this also breaks clicking on all links in Reddit email (https://click.redditmail.com/CL0/[reddit url]) - just makes them redirect to the home page instead of to the given URL.

It works but when I right click URLs in Google, the copy/paste URL still has the redirect. Use URL Tracking Stripper & Redirect Skipper instead.
