Since installing this add-on, I no longer see a redirect to google when I click on links in my google email messages. I have need to manually add exceptions to the the No-skip-urls-list such as this one for paypal: "^h...s://.*\.paypal.com/.*$" (sans quotes). Very rarely I have to temporarily turn it off for odd or one-off sites that need to redirect.

Thank you .. works as of now . .. have to copy the link and paste it directly in the address bar instead of clicking on the link ..

It works flawlessly, I used it on Firefox Android and I'm loving it.

Seems to work great but no android version?

Funciona bien, sólo que hay sitios que como que no los detecta.

This is impossible to adjust, it blocks and lets through as it pleases. I don't think it can work any worse. I don't know who pumped up your rating for this piece of garbage.

The dev seems not to be interested keeping this addon usable. Deleted because to many issues.

Skip Redirect is an excellent little extension that pretty much works exactly as I would expect it to, and it's just plain good for privacy. Fingerprinting via redirect URLs is used everywhere these days.

It has a secondary effect of making any case of a redirect url load the destination page instantly, since there is no request made nor waiting for the request to return a response before the typical redirect would happen.

It even bypasses link filter pages that are opened by Steam for example. It has additional options too for the more advanced users out there.

The only problem is that it often breaks reverse image searching services by directing you to the URL you input, but it's probably not hard to just add some filters to whitelist those instances, I just suck at regex.

I had to change black/whitelist a bit, but that was expected. Works surprisingly well with all these long chains of ad redirects.

Great: fixed an otherwise apparently insoluble issue with Google sponsored ads causing a redirect to a googleleadservices page that often went nowhere. Recommended.
