Overview
Skip intermediary pages that some pages use before redirecting to a final page.
Skip Redirect ===================== Some web pages use intermediary pages before redirecting to a final page. This webextension tries to extract the final url from the intermediary url and goes there straight away if successful. As an example, try this url: - www.google.com/chrome/?or-maybe-rather-firefox=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mozilla.org/ Please give feedback(see below) if you find websites where this fails or where you get redirected in a weird way when this add-on is enabled but not when it's disabled. See the add-on's preferences (also available by clicking the toolbar icon) for options. By default all URLs but the ones matching a no-skip-urls-list are checked for embedded URLs and redirects are skipped. Depending on the pages visited, this can cause problems. For example a dysfunctional login. The no-skip-urls-list can be edited to avoid these problems. There is also a skip-urls-list mode to avoid this kind of problem altogether. In skip-urls-list mode, all URLs for which redirects should be skipped need to be added to the skip-urls-list manually. Some websites use multiple url parameters like this: `www.example.com/page-we-want-to-skip?first=www.want-to-go-here.com&second=www.do-not-care-about-this-url.com` Skip Redirect does not know which is the right parameter, but you can edit the no-skip-parameter-list. Adding `first` would skip to the URL of `second` and vice versa. Adding both, `first` and `second` would cause no skipping.

My Moodle course expired and I'm trying to finish my final assignments I've made a bunch of extension excuses to a professor (lol rip me) but it still redirects back to the re-enrolment page :// Yes, the school page already directs me to the direct link of the assignment but then adds on a new URL link for the re-enrollment page to hide the assignment page (since I'm no longer in the course) and this extension doesn't block that. Though, I'm gonna see if this works on movie sites later which ... Show more

Worked perfectly for my situation.

second edit: ok, settling on 4 stars. had a look through the github, and then had a look at the urls that were bothering me the most (google shopping links). google seems to be putting encoding the url such that it is not possible to match with regex (or any other pattern matching) without first decoding whatever its encoded with. if it were not encoded, this extension would almost certainly catch it. that said, it fails to decode somewhat frequently, and on enough sites that it makes more se...
