Review summary

Many users report Redirect Blocker slows the system with high CPU/RAM usage and even crashes, while a subset says it blocks redirects effectively. Overall, reliability and performance concerns dominate, with several reviewers worried about potential hidden activity and inconsistent redirect blocking across sites.

Pros

Blocks redirects on many sites, helping pages with multiple redirects become usable.

Cons

Extremely high CPU usage and memory consumption; system slows down significantly.
Redirect blocking is not reliable; some sites still redirect or the extension fails to block redirects.
Can crash the browser in some cases.
Suspected suspicious background activity (high resource usage may resemble cryptocurrency mining).

2026-03-13	Kr*****	I've installed and then uninstalled Redirect Blocker twice today due to high CPU usage and constant hard disk read and writes to the point where my Linux running laptop slowed down to a snails-pace crawl thus my reasoning for giving this extension a 1 star review. I therefore do not recommend anyone to tryout this extension at all.

2025-11-30	St*****	As other people have said, slows your whole computer down. however, it is open source, so it's not like they are doing anything sketchy. Oh and the main problem is that it doesn't work. Even with the same tab redirect prevention on (5th page of extension settings) it still redirects me to another site.
