This is a typical geek's "works for me" extension. It is only enabled at gmail. I suppose it is possible to open it up and change/add/update URLs if you are a developer. If you do not know how to do it, and want it working outside of gmail, don't bother.
Good! But in order to work in gmail, it needs to be modified to unwrap google redirects as well:
this.gmail_pattern = new RegExp(String.raw`https://www.google.com/url\?q=.*`);
var google_match = this.gmail_pattern.exec(rewritten_url);
if (google_match) {
rewritten_url = return new URL(rewritten_url).searchParams.get('q');
}
