Simple Redirect Firefox

Simple Redirect

Simply redirect all requests from one url to another.

Features & Capabilities

Set the source url, set the destination url, et voilà, you have a redirect! Now all requests that try to open that source url will get automatically transferred to destination. We are also redirecting "before request", so the source won't be loaded at all, instead, it will be completely bypassed.

Still not satisfied? No Worries! this addon comes with a few additional features too, read on,

  1. Deep Redirects - When turned on, redirection rule will apply to background requests too. This is especially useful in redirecting those pesky background third party request to whatever destination you like.
  2. Regex Matching - When turned on, matching is done based on regex patterns. Use this to set single destination for multiple URLs using regex patterns.
  3. Notifications - Notifications can be selectively turned on or off for each redirect. They get triggered when a redirect happens.
  4. Header Copy (Advanced) - Copy POST request parameters to GET query string. This is especially useful in converting link handling POST request to link handling GET request
Some examples of use cases
  1. Redirect reddit to old reddit directly ("www.reddit.com" -> "old.redirect.com") or via regex matching to handle multiple cases ("http(s)?://(www.)?reddit.com" -> "https://old.reddit.com").
  2. Redirect duckduckgo to non-js duckduckgo ("duckduckgo.com" -> "duckduckgo.com/html")
  3. Redirect a blocked site to its proxy with background resources also loading properly from proxy site by setting Deep Redirects ON.
  4. Block a domain completely by redirecting it to a non-functional site and setting Deep Redirects ON. This will also block any third party background requests to that domain.
  5. Transfer POST search queries (eg: html.duckduckgo.com) to GET queries (duckduckgo.com) using Header Copy

    It does exactly what I want except that, annoyingly, for some reason it omits the Authorization header in POST requests. No idea why.

    Great! exactly what i'm looking for but couldn'n't find in any other addons! Silly Firefox! But I want to turn off the Nortification everytime it does redirecting, the pop up nortification is annoying

    Is Simple 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.

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

    Risk impact analysis details
    • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
    • High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
    • Medium ******* ******* ************* ***** *** ** ******* *** **** ******* ****** ******** *******
    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.

    Simple Redirect has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

    Risk likelihood analysis details
    • High This extension has low user count. Unpopular extensions may not be stable or safe.
    • Low **** ********* *** ******* **** **** * ****** **** ***** ******** *** **** ****** ** ** ****** *** *****
