Redirector

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 I'm excited to introduce Redirector to you today. As a long-time user of the original Redirector extension, I've created this new version to address the upcoming expiration of the old extension and to ensure we can continue using this essential tool. 🔄 What is Redirector? Redirector is a browser extension that allows you to automatically redirect from one URL to another based on customizable rules. It's perfect for skipping annoying pages, redirecting to mobile versions of sites, or managing complex URL structures. ✨ What's new in this version? • Updated to Manifest V3 for improved security and performance • Refreshed user interface for a better user experience • Compatibility with the latest browser standards 🔑 Key features: • Create redirection rules using URL patterns • Redirect based on URL parameters • Wildcard support for flexible matching • Enhanced URI Glob matching patterns for easier rule creation without complex regex • Import/export functionality for easy backup and sharing of rules 💡 Why a new version? The original Redirector is approaching its end-of-life due to changing browser policies. Redirector ensures that we can continue using this valuable tool without interruption. 📝 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` Glob pattern is a simple pattern matching tool. Here are some examples: Redirect all youtu.be link to video page: - From: `https://youtu.be/*` - To: `https://example.com/watch?v=$1` As a fellow Redirector user, I'm excited to carry this project forward and improve it based on our community's needs. I'm here to answer any questions you might have and would love to hear your feedback and feature requests!
