URL Rewriter Firefox

URL Rewriter

By: tacalan Add-on
Rewrites the current tab's URL based on your wildcard rules.

Features & Capabilities

URL Rewriter lets you transform URLs on the fly with wildcard rules. Define a pattern like https://www.amazon.com/ and a target like https://www.amazon.de/, then click the toolbar icon to instantly reopen the current tab at the rewritten address — same path, same query, same page, different domain.

Features:

  • Wildcard rules — at most one * per pattern/target, only at the end
  • Works silently: no matching rule = gray icon; one match = instant redirect; multiple matches = picker popup
  • Per-rule options: drop query parameters (strip tracking params) or open in a new tab
  • Export/import rules as JSON
  • No host permissions, no content scripts, no data collection — nothing leaves your browser

Is URL Rewriter 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.

URL Rewriter requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.
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.

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