About this extension
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. This extension does not collect or transmit any user data.
