FastForward is a browser extension for Chromium, Edge, and Firefox that automatically skips link shorteners and wait-for-ad interstitial pages. It is the successor to Universal Bypass and includes a crowd-bypass feature that shares destination links among users.
Use cases
- skip annoying link shorteners automatically
- bypass 5-60 second ad wait pages like adf.ly
- get past subscribe-to-continue gates like sub2unlock
- avoid link tracker redirects from bit.ly and t.co
- prevent IP logging by shortener sites
- share bypassed shortener destinations with other users
When to choose
- you frequently encounter link shorteners and want automatic skipping
- you want an open-source alternative to Universal Bypass
- you want community-shared bypasses via crowd bypass
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project is discontinued
- you want a userscript instead of a browser extension
- you need bypasses for shorteners requiring CAPTCHAs that crowd bypass cannot handle
