  🌟 Introduction
  Redirector is a powerful and flexible browser extension that allows users to customize URL redirection rules. Using regular expressions, users can create complex redirection rules applicable to various websites and URL patterns.
  
  ✨ Key Features
  • Create custom redirection rules using regular expressions
  • Support for multiple redirection rules
  • Real-time URL match testing
  • Intuitive user interface for easy addition, editing, and deletion of rules
  • Support for wildcards and complex URL patterns
  
  🚀 How to Use
  1. Click on the Redirector icon in the browser toolbar to open the options page
  2. In the "Add a redirect URL" section:
     - Enter the source URL pattern (using regular expression) in the left input box
     - Enter the target URL in the right input box (you can use $1, $2, etc., to reference capture groups in the regular expression)
     - Click the "Add" button to add a new rule
  3. You can test your redirection rules in the "Test URL" section
  4. Added rules will be displayed in the "Rules" list, where you can delete unnecessary rules at any time
  
  📝 Example Rule
  Regex - Redirect an entire domain to another (e.g. reddit.com to old.reddit.com):
    - From: `^https://www.reddit.com/(.*)`
    - To: `https://old.reddit.com/$1`
  Regex - Redirect Google search to DuckDuckGo:
    - From: `^https://www.google.com/search\?q=(.*?)&.*$`
    - To: `https://duckduckgo.com/?q=$1`
  URL Pattern - Redirect Google search to DuckDuckGo:
    - From: `https://www.google.com/search?q=:id&(.*)`
    - To: `https://duckduckgo.com/?q={{search.groups.id|decodeURIComponent}}`
  
  🔒 Privacy
  This extension processes all redirection rules locally and does not collect or transmit any user data.

  Redirector automatically redirects URLs from one site to another based on rules you define. Once a rule is active, every time you visit a matching URL, you're instantly sent to the destination — no extra clicks needed.
  
  COMMON USE CASES
  • Always use Old Reddit instead of the redesign
  • Switch Google search results to DuckDuckGo
  • Skip tracking redirects (email click-tracking links) and go straight to the real destination
  • Redirect deprecated tool URLs to their replacements
  
  QUICK START — Your first rule in 30 seconds
  
  Let's redirect reddit.com → old.reddit.com:
  
  1. Click the Redirector icon in your toolbar — the options page opens
  2. Click "Add Rule"
  3. Fill in the two fields:
     Match URL:    ^https://www.reddit.com/(.*)
     Redirect To:  https://old.reddit.com/$1
  4. (Optional) Paste a test URL like https://www.reddit.com/r/cats to verify the result
  5. Click "Add" — done!
  
  How the pattern works:
  • ^https://www.reddit.com/ matches the beginning of any Reddit URL
  • (.*) captures everything after the domain (e.g. r/cats)
  • $1 in Redirect To inserts that captured part into the new URL
  
  That's the basic idea: match a URL, capture the parts you need, build a new URL with them.
  
  MORE EXAMPLES
  
  Redirect Google search to DuckDuckGo:
     Match URL:    ^https://www.google.com/search\?q=(.*?)&.*$
     Redirect To:  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=$1
  
  Skip email click-tracking redirects:
     Match URL:    https://click.redditmail.com/CL0/(.*)
     Redirect To:  {{$1|decodeURIComponent}}
  
  KEY FEATURES
  • Create redirect rules using regex or URL Pattern syntax
  • Enable, disable, reorder, and test rules with real-time feedback
  • Import/export rules as JSON to back up or share with others
  • Supports pipeline transformations (URL decoding, base64 decoding)
  • Keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+O to navigate back to the original URL before redirect
  
  PRIVACY
  All rules are processed locally. This extension does not collect or transmit any user data.
