Redirector is a browser extension for Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi and Opera that redirects URLs based on regex or wildcard patterns, like a client-side mod_rewrite. Users define rules with capture-group substitutions for tasks like forcing HTTPS, de-mobilizing sites, escaping AMP, and removing tracking redirects.

Use cases

• redirect mobile wikipedia urls to desktop versions
• remove amp from google search result links
• strip doubleclick tracking from clicked links
• redirect youtube shorts to regular watch urls
• force http sites to https automatically
• use duckduckgo bangs from google search
• redirect newspaper articles to print versions

When to choose

• you want declarative regex-based url rewriting inside your browser
• you need cross-browser redirect rules with no data sent anywhere
• you want to bypass amp pages or tracking redirects client-side

When to avoid

• you need server-side redirects that affect all visitors
• you want a proxy or network-level rewriting tool outside the browser
• you need complex scripting logic beyond regex substitutions
