Months and months of inconvenience from this thing. I thought oh it's a linux issue on my old machine, but got a mac and fresh install of firefox and still had issues, put it in safe mode still had issues, figured okay its got to be an extension. Disabled one by one and found out this extension was causing issues with anything Microsoft.


======
dev.azure.com gives
The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to dev.azure.com.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

======
Teams/Outlook/etc any links you open from there go through a nam11.safelinks.protection "safe link check" and since anything I have opens by default in Firefox then this extension would also prevent any links from opening, you would have to copy and paste.

======
Do NOT install if you use any Microsoft products unless this is updated, but at this point not worth the risk of issues with other pages

Since installing this add-on, I no longer see a redirect to google when I click on links in my google email messages.

Thank you .. works as of now . .. have to copy the link and paste it directly in the address bar instead of clicking on the link ..

It works flawlessly, I used it on Firefox Android and I'm loving it.

Seems to work great but no android version?

Funciona bien, sólo que hay sitios que como que no los detecta.

Ovo je nemoguće naštelovati, blokira i propušta kako sam hoće

The dev seems not to be interested keeping this addon usable. Deleted because to many issues.

Skip Redirect is an excellent little extension that pretty much works exactly as I would expect it to, and it's just plain good for privacy. Fingerprinting via redirect URLs is used everywhere these days.

It has a secondary effect of making any case of a redirect url load the destination page instantly, since there is no request made nor waiting for the request to return a response before the typical redirect would happen.

It even bypasses link filter pages that are opened by Steam for example. It has additional options too for the more advanced users out there.

The only problem is that it often breaks reverse image searching services by directing you to the URL you input, but it's probably not hard to just add some filters to whitelist those instances, I just suck at regex.

I had to change black/whitelist a bit, but that was expected. Works surprisingly well with all these long chains of ad redirects.

Great: fixed an otherwise apparently insoluble issue with Google sponsored ads causing a redirect to a googleleadservices page that often went nowhere. Recommended.
