The only one that only track data on google.com and youtube.com, not your entire web navigation... And work perfectly for me so far! HUGE thanks to the dev(s)!!

Stops some google results eg support.google.com and books.google.com from working, and there's no way to whitelist them and no way to know which extension did it

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

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