r/Redirect Firefox

r/Redirect

Redirects searches for a subreddit directly to the respective subreddit on Reddit. For example, a search for r/memes will be redirected to the Memes subreddit instead of search results.

Features & Capabilities

r/Redirect (r-slash-redirect) redirects searches for a subreddit to the respective subreddit on Reddit. For example, a search for r/memes will be redirected to the subreddit instead of search results.

  • Override searches for r/… in popular search engines to redirect immediately to the respective subreddit.
  • Registers a search keyword, so that when you enter r/, you search with the r/Redirect add-on which takes you to the respective subreddit.
Supported Search Engines

  • Bing 🇺🇸
  • DuckDuckGo 🇺🇸
  • Ecosia 🇩🇪
  • Google 🇺🇸
  • Startpage 🇳🇱

LibRedirect

This add-on pairs well with LibRedirect. If you install LibRedirect and enable Reddit redirection, you'll be redirected to your preferred privacy-friendly Reddit frontend, like Redlib.

Alternatives

Some search engines feature their own shortcuts to zoom to or search on websites quickly—no add-on required.

If you use one of these search engines, give it a try. Or consider switching your default search engine over if you don't! Searches like !sr memes will take you to r/memes in the same way this add-on would. (sr being short for subreddit)

Works just as you'd expect! Thought of the idea so I searched for "reddit redirect extension", and this came up. Simple but really nice to have!

Is r/Redirect Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

r/Redirect requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Allows retrieval of a user’s browsing history, presenting a notable privacy risk.
  • Low ****** ***** ** ******* ****** ********** **** ** ** ******** ******* ** **** ***** *************
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

r/Redirect is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
