Link Redirector

About

Allows redirection of any website to another website of choice, or alternatively can open a specified page in a new tab.

Features:
Redirect any website to another with a single rule
Supports wildcard patterns (e.g. youtube.com/shorts/*) to match entire sections of a site
Open matched URLs in a new tab instead of redirecting
Enable or disable individual rules without deleting them
Live preview shows exactly what URLs your pattern will match before saving
Test any URL against your rule before adding it
No account required, no data collected — all rules stored locally on your device

Use cases:
Redirect a site you visit by habit to a more productive alternative
Redirect old bookmarks or URLs to new locations
Block distracting sites by redirecting them elsewhere
Forward one domain to another during development or testing

How it works:
Enter a match pattern like youtube.com/shorts/* and a redirect target like google.com. The extension intercepts the request before the page loads and redirects you instantly.
Supports both simple domain matches (google.com) and wildcard patterns (reddit.com/r/all/*). Don't need to type https:// or www. — the extension handles that automatically.
All redirect rules are stored locally using Chrome's built-in storage.


Changelog:
v1.1 - ON/OFF toggle, UI reloading made cleaner, added support for redirection of pages loaded on the same page via Javascript (such as scrolling on YouTube Shorts)
v1.0 - Initial release
