Skip Redirect
=====================
[](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/skip-redirect/)
[](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/skip-redirect/jaoafjdoijdconemdmodhbfpianehlon)
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:
- https://www.google.com/chrome/?or-maybe-rather-firefox=https%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.
