Features & Capabilities

Read this or extension won't work: As of 13 April 2023 there isn't a mechanism to prompt user to give host permissions to a domain at install time, you will have to do this manually via the addon settings page. This may improve in the future: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/porting-chrome-add-on-firefox-page-permissions-not-granted-by-default/112873/4

This extension prevents reddit from redirecting the browser to out.reddit.com when users click reddit posts with external links. A few reasons why you'd want to use this extension:

You can opt out from being redirected this way if you're logged in with a reddit account, however it is not possible if you're not.
Performance. You will now go directly to the link that you clicked, instead of having to wait for out.reddit.com to log your request and then redirect you to the link.
Privacy. out.reddit.com is a mechanism for tracking which external links a user is clicking on reddit.

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.
