Automatically redirects links from one URL to another, based on rules you define. For example, redditez.com to reddit.com.
It works two ways at once:
- Navigation-level redirect via
declarativeNetRequest: if you click or type a link to a matching URL, your browser redirects you straight to the target URL, preserving the path, query, and fragment. - On-page rewriting via a content script: links already displayed on a page get their
hrefrewritten too, so hovering, copying, or middle-clicking shows the correct destination.

simple-url-redirectorfolder. - Click the extension icon in your toolbar to add and manage rules.
In the popup or options page, enter:
- From:
redditez.com - To:
reddit.com
And click Add rule. From then on, https://www.redditez.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/s/KlACnhZGrB becomes https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/s/KlACnhZGrB.
Add as many rules as you like. Each rule has its own on/off toggle, and there's a master switch in the popup to pause all redirects at once.
Simple rules match whole domains, ignoring leading www..
Advanced rules use regex for more flexibility. Use regex rules let you match complex patterns and use substitution groups.
