REDIRECTOR is the intelligent Chrome extension designed to give you complete control over your web browsing experience. Effortlessly create your own URL redirection rules to automatically send you exactly where you need to go.
Whether you're a seasoned web developer, a productivity enthusiast, or simply someone who wants a smoother online journey, REDIRECTOR offers a simple yet powerful solution to manage and customize how you navigate the web. Say goodbye to extra clicks and frustrating redirects!
Key Features:
Effortless Rule Creation: Setting up redirects is a breeze with our intuitive interface. No complex coding required!
Flexible Pattern Matching: Choose the perfect matching method for your needs:
Wildcard Matching (*): Use the asterisk as a placeholder to match any sequence of characters. Ideal for redirecting entire sections of a website or handling simple URL variations.
Example: Redirect all pages from an old domain to a new one:
Pattern: http://olddomain.com/*
Redirect To: https://newdomain.com/*
Powerful Regular Expressions (Regex): For advanced users, regular expressions allow for incredibly precise and dynamic URL matching and manipulation. Capture specific parts of a URL and use them in your redirect.
Example: Redirect product pages with old IDs to a new format while preserving the unique identifier:
Pattern: https://website.com/product/old-(\d+)
Redirect To: https://website.com/products/$1 (Here, $1 refers to the captured number)
Smart Redirect Options:
Exclude Patterns: Define specific URLs or patterns that should not be redirected, even if they match your main rule. This provides granular control.
Example: Redirect all .php pages on a site, except the login page:
Pattern: https://anysite.com/*.php
Exclude Pattern: https://anysite.com/login.php
Resource Type Filtering: Apply your redirect rules only to specific types of web requests (e.g., main pages, images, scripts, frames), preventing unintended redirects.
Example: Only redirect the main webpage of an outdated domain, not its images:
Apply To: Main document
Easy Rule Management:
Enable/Disable: Quickly toggle redirect rules on or off with a single click.
Edit & Delete: Modify or remove rules easily as your needs change.
Organize: Reorder your rules with simple drag-and-drop to control the order in which they are applied.
Backup & Share:
Import/Export: Save your entire set of redirect rules to a file for backup or to share them with others.
Seamless Synchronization (Optional):
Chrome Storage Sync: If you choose, you can sync your redirect rules across all your Chrome browsers where you are logged in.
How REDIRECTOR Works:
REDIRECTOR intelligently monitors the URLs you are trying to access. When a URL matches one of your defined "Include patterns," the extension instantly redirects your browser to the "Redirect To" URL according to your rule's settings. This happens in the background, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted browsing experience.
Use Cases to Boost Your Productivity:
Automatic HTTPS Upgrades: Force secure browsing by automatically redirecting http:// sites to their https:// equivalents.
Example:
Pattern: http://insecuresite.com/*
Redirect To: https://insecuresite.com/*
Bypassing Annoying Redirects: Skip those extra ad pages or intermediary links that slow you down.
Example: If a specific website always shows an ad page before the content:
Pattern: http://annoying-site.com/goto/*
Redirect To: http://annoying-site.com/final-content/* (You'll need to identify the pattern of the final content URL)
Creating Memorable Shortcuts: Turn long and complicated URLs into short, easy-to-remember ones for personal use.
Example: Redirect a long project link:
Pattern: go/project-alpha
Redirect To: https://your-company.com/teams/development/projects/alpha-2023-v5-final.html
Handling Website Migrations: If a website you frequently visit has moved its content, create rules to automatically follow the new structure.
Example: A blog moved from /blog/old-post to /articles/new-post:
Pattern: https://oldsite.com/blog/*
Redirect To: https://newsite.com/articles/*
Streamlining Development: Redirect live API calls to your local testing environment for development and debugging.
Example:
Pattern: https://api.live-site.com/v1/*
Redirect To: http://localhost:8080/api/v1/*
