## Description

URLRedirector is a practical Chrome extension designed to automatically redirect specified URLs to new destinations based on user-defined rules. It matches URL patterns from the original URL and replaces them with target URL patterns, enabling quick and efficient redirection without manual intervention. For example, if a URL matches an origin pattern like `http://www.foo.com/(\d+)`, it can be redirected to a target pattern such as `http://www.bar.com?id=$1`, where dynamic parts of the URL are preserved.

This tool supports loading redirection rules from an online JSON file and allows configuration of redirection conditions including exclude patterns, HTTP methods, and resource types. Its flexibility helps streamline web workflows, improve browsing efficiency, and manage URL changes effortlessly.
