About this extension
URL Rewriter lets you transform URLs on the fly with wildcard rules. Define a pattern like https://www.amazon.com/ and a target like https://www.amazon.de/, then click the toolbar icon to instantly reopen the current tab at the rewritten address — same path, same query, same page, different domain.
Features:
- Wildcard rules — at most one * per pattern/target, only at the end
- Works silently: no matching rule = gray icon; one match = instant redirect; multiple matches = picker popup
- Per-rule options: drop query parameters (strip tracking params) or open in a new tab
- Export/import rules as JSON
- No host permissions, no content scripts, no data collection — nothing leaves your browser
