Features & Capabilities

A Firefox extension. On sites you enable it for, any attempt to open a new tab or redirect you to a new link is paused until you confirm the destination in a popup.

The popup shows the exact URL and gives you three choices:

Go to link — proceed to the destination this one time.
Don't open — cancel; you stay where you are.
Never allow links from this site — add the site to a block‑list so future links are stopped without asking.

Click the toolbar button to set the mode for the current site:

Mode	Behavior
Protect this site	Ask before every new tab / redirect.
Never allow this site	Block navigations from the site without asking.
Off	Don't intercept anything (default for sites you haven't touched).

Settings are stored per hostname and persist across restarts.

Clicking a link (same tab, target="_blank", and Ctrl/⌘/middle‑click new‑tab opens).
Form submissions.
Page scripts calling window.open(...), location.assign(...), or location.replace(...).

Some navigation paths can't be paused with a URL preview from a web extension:

Direct location.href = "..." / window.location = "..." assignments (the href setter isn't interceptable). assign() / replace() are covered.
<meta http-equiv="refresh"> redirects.
Server‑side HTTP 3xx redirects.

These cover the far edges; ordinary "clicked something and got sent elsewhere / a new tab popped open" behavior is handled.

Is Stop Redirecting Me 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.

Stop Redirecting Me 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.

Stop Redirecting Me is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
