Dynamic URL Redirector
🌟 Introduction
Redirector is a powerful and flexible browser extension that allows users to customize URL redirection rules. Using regular expressions, users can create complex redirection rules applicable to various websites and URL patterns.
✨ Key Features
• Create custom redirection rules using regular expressions
• Support for multiple redirection rules
• Real-time URL match testing
• Intuitive user interface for easy addition, editing, and deletion of rules
• Support for wildcards and complex URL patterns
🚀 How to Use
1. Click on the Redirector icon in the browser toolbar to open the options page
2. In the "Add a redirect URL" section:
- Enter the source URL pattern (using regular expression) in the left input box
- Enter the target URL in the right input box (you can use $1, $2, etc., to reference capture groups in the regular expression)
- Click the "Add" button to add a new rule
3. You can test your redirection rules in the "Test URL" section
4. Added rules will be displayed in the "Rules" list, where you can delete unnecessary rules at any time
📝 Example Rule
Regular expression is a powerful tool for matching URL patterns. Here are some examples:
- Redirect Google search to DuckDuckGo:
- From: `^https://www.google.com/search\?q=(.*?)&.*$`
- To: `https://duckduckgo.com/?q=$1`
URLPattern is a more powerful and flexible tool for matching URL patterns. Here are some examples:
- Redirect Google search to DuckDuckGo:
- From: `https://www.google.com/search?q=:id`
- To: `https://duckduckgo.com/?q={{search.groups.id}}`
🔒 Privacy
This extension processes all redirection rules locally and does not collect or transmit any user data.

- Amazing extension. Really helps to prevent me from accessing any distractions.

- The UI is super clean and easy to learn. You might consider adding a few more features,and I have two pieces of advice,1.offering two examples may be more helpful 2.show notification when a rule is triggered

- This is the best redirect extension that I have tried. It is a bit hard to figure out if you dont know regex (same for all the other redirect extensions) but you can search/ask for help in the Discord.

- Fantastic. Got her done with this extension, can't say the same with the first one I tried. Then again I'm a buffoon. Cheers

- Roshan John
- Absolutely love this extension. I used it for quite a long while until the Manifest 3 requirement. But really happy it is fully updated now and back on the store !! Huge kudos on the UI improvements too !
- Vlad
- literally the best redirector extension in the time of writing this review
- Prince
- I have used other similar extensions before, but this one stands out different mainly for 3 reasons, 1. Open source 2. Supports Regular expression as well as URLPattern (which is robust and more efficient than RegEx) for redirection rule 3. Hardly have I ever seen such a humble developer who not only just addresses any issue proactively but also very eager to implement new ideas. Surely this one will become popular soon as the extension is getting polished with new features day by day.

- Thanks for the new update to 0.7.0. This problem has been resolved! ----- It's a GREAT extension! But I have one complaint. Often, the extension fails to replace URLs when the site takes a long time to load. This did not happen with another extension of the same name. e.g. site: autosport web (Japanese site) https://www.as-web.jp/ ----- Regex rules: (https://www\.as-web\.jp/[-\w !#\$%&'\(\)\*\+,\.:;=?]+/[0-9]{7})(?!(\?all|/)) -> $1?all (https://www\.as-web\.jp/[-\w !#\$%&'\(\)\*\+,\.:;=?]+/[0-9]{6})(?!(\?all|[0-9]|/)) -> $1?all ==== Another extension (v2): Redirector https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/redirector/pajiegeliagebegjdhebejdlknciafen

- This is perfect. It works every time! It would be useful to see more examples, however I was able to achieve what I needed via the shadow-text google -> duckduckgo example. ^https://myorg.visualstudio.com/(.*)$ -> https://dev.azure.com/myorg/$1
- king37
- it stopped working, always redirects to only the domain without page-path from src url
- s f
- Worked like a charm. Now I can ban most of the sites I dislike and redirect them to something more useful Same for sites that put up paywalls and give you no free albeit limited access... you know who you are! I wish I was more knowledgeable in regular expression syntax, but thankfully even a basic site-i-dont-like.com can be redirected to site-i-like.com with a simple and straightforward rule. Been looking for something similar for a while and I am glad I eventually found it! :)
