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:

 - 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.
