About

URL Rerouter redirects URLs with dead-simple wildcard rules — and, unlike the redirectors you may have used before, it lets you prove exactly what a rule does BEFORE you rely on it. No more save-and-pray.

SIMPLE WILDCARD RULES
Write a From pattern with * and a To target with $1, $2, … Example:
  https://github.com/*  →  https://dev.github.com/$1
The * matches any run of characters and is captured; reference each capture as $1…$9 in the target. That's the whole language.

DEBUG ANY URL — THE STANDOUT FEATURE
Paste any URL into the reverse "Debug any URL" tester and see which rule fires and where it lands — or exactly why none does (no match / disabled / shadowed by a higher rule). You confirm a rule works before trusting it, instead of guessing.

WHAT YOU DEBUG IS WHAT SHIPS
The debugger and the installed redirect run the SAME compiler. Each rule compiles to a declarativeNetRequest dynamic rule, and a conformance test proves the regex we emit matches URLs identically under real RE2 (the engine Chrome uses) and the JavaScript RegExp the debugger uses — so the debugger's verdict is the production verdict.

EVERYTHING ELSE
- Priority by drag-order: reorder rules so the topmost matching rule wins.
- Per-rule scope (Advanced): apply a rule to top-level pages, iframes, or both.
- Import / Export your rules as JSON to back up or share.
- One-click global on/off from the toolbar popup, with a live count of active rules.
- Featherweight: pure MV3 static files — no backend, no build step, no framework. The packaged extension is about 50 KB.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No analytics, no tracking, no third parties. Your rules are stored locally on your device via Chrome's storage. The extension uses declarativeNetRequest to perform redirects; the broad host permission only lets your redirect rules match any site — it never reads page content and never sends your browsing anywhere.
