Skip Redirect is an excellent little extension that pretty much works exactly as I would expect it to, and it's just plain good for privacy. Fingerprinting via redirect URLs is used everywhere these days.

It has a secondary effect of making any case of a redirect url load the destination page instantly, since there is no request made nor waiting for the request to return a response before the typical redirect would happen.

It even bypasses link filter pages that are opened by Steam for example. It has additional options too for the more advanced users out there.

The only problem is that it often breaks reverse image searching services by directing you to the URL you input, but it's probably not hard to just add some filters to whitelist those instances, I just suck at regex.
