Features & Capabilities

Redirector automatically redirects URLs from one site to another based on rules you define. Once a rule is active, every time you visit a matching URL, you're instantly sent to the destination — no extra clicks needed.

COMMON USE CASES • Always use Old Reddit instead of the redesign • Switch Google search results to DuckDuckGo • Skip tracking redirects (email click-tracking links) and go straight to the real destination • Redirect deprecated tool URLs to their replacements

QUICK START — Your first rule in 30 seconds

Let's redirect reddit.comold.reddit.com:

  1. Click the Redirector icon in your toolbar — the options page opens
  2. Click "Add Rule"
  3. Fill in the two fields: Match URL: ^https://www.reddit.com/(.*) Redirect To: https://old.reddit.com/$1
  4. (Optional) Paste a test URL like https://www.reddit.com/r/cats to verify the result
  5. Click "Add" — done!
How the pattern works: • ^https://www.reddit.com/ matches the beginning of any Reddit URL • (.*) captures everything after the domain (e.g. r/cats) • $1 in Redirect To inserts that captured part into the new URL

That's the basic idea: match a URL, capture the parts you need, build a new URL with them.

MORE EXAMPLES

Redirect Google search to DuckDuckGo: Match URL: ^https://www.google.com/search?q=(.?)&.$ Redirect To: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=$1

Skip email click-tracking redirects: Match URL: https://click.redditmail.com/CL0/(.*) Redirect To: {{$1|decodeURIComponent}}

KEY FEATURES • Create redirect rules using regex or URL Pattern syntax • Enable, disable, reorder, and test rules with real-time feedback • Import/export rules as JSON to back up or share with others • Supports pipeline transformations (URL decoding, base64 decoding) • Keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+O to navigate back to the original URL before redirect

PRIVACY All rules are processed locally. This extension does not collect or transmit any user data.

Is Redirector URL 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.

Redirector URL requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
