by bugfix2, 9 years agoI've planned to use this add-on as privacy tool, for discarding tracking tokens (like google "utm_source") from URL and bypassing "away scripts" (that counts what external URL user clicked).
Unfortunately, this add-on first visits unmodified address, and only if original page loaded, redirects to another page).
Thus, it's useless for privacy purpose.
P.S. Updated FF to 55.0.3, issue is gone.

Developer response
posted 9 years agoNormally it doesn't send a request to the original address. However, since FF 52 there' this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1345893 which always sends a request to the original url first. It's fixed and should be released in Firefox 55 apparently.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Squirrelly, 3 months agoWorking great. If you have a site like youtube and you click a video/link and it doesn't redirect (or only works when you reload the page), you need to go to Advanced Options in your redirect, and add "History State" for when to apply it.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Camilo, 6 months agoIt works, but there should be an option to only allow it in specific domains.
