About this extension
Take total control of your browser's navigation.

URL Alchemist is a privacy-focused tool that acts as a smart filter between your clicks and the web. It allows you to create "Action Packs"—custom rule sets that automatically intercept, modify, or redirect URLs before they load.

Core Features:

Automated Redirects: Seamlessly switch between domains (e.g., redirect production.com to localhost).

Tracking Protection: Automatically strip unwanted query parameters (like utm_source, fbclid, or affiliate tags) from every link you visit.

Clipboard Injection: Create powerful workflows that insert your clipboard content directly into specific URL patterns.

Visual Logic Builder: Design complex IF/THEN navigation rules using a transparent, drag-and-drop interface. No coding required.

Security & Privacy First:

100% Local Processing: All URL transformation logic runs directly on your device. Your browsing history never leaves your browser.

Transparent Logic: Imported Action Packs are fully decompiled visually, so you can see exactly what a rule does before you enable it.

Sandboxed Testing: Safely test your rules in a simulated environment to ensure they work exactly as expected.

Whether you are a developer debugging local environments, a privacy advocate removing trackers, or a power user speeding up workflows, URL Alchemist gives you the power to rewrite the web as you navigate it.
