Redirect urls using regular expressions

Redirector: Chrome Extension for URL Redirection

"Redirector" is a simple Chrome extension allowing users to redirect URLs using regular expressions. This powerful tool could be used for opening mobile sites, like Wikipedia in desktop mode or redirecting YouTube URLs to open in a dedicated video app instead of the browser. It allows users to customize their browsing experience by setting up their own rules for URL handling.

Please make it compatible with Manifest v3. I like this extension because of its simple configuration and behavior. Other similar extensions don't work as well as I'd like.
