Redirector automatically redirects URLs from one site to another based on rules you define. Once a rule is active, every time you visit a matching URL, you're instantly sent to the destination — no extra clicks needed. COMMON USE CASES • Always use Old Reddit instead of the redesign • Switch Google search results to DuckDuckGo • Skip tracking redirects (email click-tracking links) and go straight to the real destination • Redirect deprecated tool URLs to their replacements QUICK START — Your first rule in 30 seconds Let's redirect reddit.com → old.reddit.com: 1. Click the Redirector icon in your toolbar — the options page opens 2. Click "Add Rule" 3. Fill in the two fields: Match URL: ^https://www.reddit.com/(.*) Redirect To: https://old.reddit.com/$1 4. (Optional) Paste a test URL like https://www.reddit.com/r/cats to verify the result 5. Click "Add" — done! How the pattern works: • ^https://www.reddit.com/ matches the beginning of any Reddit URL • (.*) captures everything after the domain (e.g. r/cats) • $1 in Redirect To inserts that captured part into the new URL That's the basic idea: match a URL, capture the parts you need, build a new URL with them. MORE EXAMPLES Redirect Google search to DuckDuckGo: Match URL: ^https://www.google.com/search\?q=(.*?)&.*$ Redirect To: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=$1 Skip email click-tracking redirects: Match URL: https://click.redditmail.com/CL0/(.*) Redirect To: {{$1|decodeURIComponent}} KEY FEATURES • Create redirect rules using regex or URL Pattern syntax • Enable, disable, reorder, and test rules with real-time feedback • Import/export rules as JSON to back up or share with others • Supports pipeline transformations (URL decoding, base64 decoding) • Keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+O to navigate back to the original URL before redirect PRIVACY All rules are processed locally.
