About

URL Block & Redirect

I could not find a simple way to block certain webpages. So i made this extension. 

Redirect specific URL patterns (e.g., Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts) to another page.
YouTube shorts, Instagram Reels and 9gag are preset to be redirected to google.

you can block all shorts by adding 
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/

but you can not block a specific short
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/abcdefgh1234596

**Be aware!**

If there are any bugs, i will not be able to help fix them at the moment. 
This was meant to be a personal tool to help with my productivity, but i was very dissapointed that i could not find a similar chrome extension with out a tone of ads. So i decided to publish it.
