Redirector Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Show HN: YouTube Shorts Redirector

  Neat! There's also Redirector [1], which allows to do all kinds of redirects like this. For example, I use it to redirect from YouTube to Invidious or from Booking.com confirmation page to the variant without upsells (which are otherwise tricky to block with uBlock Origin).

• Google: Angular and Wiz Are Merging

  Https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/ Note the site I linked is very dodgy, so probably not trustworthy. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• What is this garbage UI change?

  Then let a browser plugin do it. Works well so far, but it's still an imposition what reddit does here, unreadable. e.g. https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/. Source: 5 months ago

• Most promoted and blocked domains among Kagi Search users

  This is cool but imo it makes more sense to have URL redirection as a browser extension. That way all twitter links resolve to nitter. I use this one https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• All Twitter content seems to be behind a login wall today

  I still have a few accounts I glance at from time to time. Hockey, Game Devs, Artists, etc. Who haven't migrated away despite everything, so this is kinda obnoxious. I created some Redirector (https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/) rules to redirect Tweet and Twitter Profile URLs to their HTML embed equivalents. Should be able to just import the rules and it seems to work alright with some caveats. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• My brothers in ML,use wiki.gg

  I would highly suggest that you use something like Redirector instead of this. Redirector gives you the ability to create any general redirects as you see fit. For example, I have a de-mobilizer redirect (primarily for Wikipedia) and a redirect for YouTube shorts to use the native video player page. The extension is also open-source. Source: 12 months ago

• Can I stop the game linking to the german Wiki?

  That works for Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera and probably anything that supports WebExtensions. https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Script to redirect youtube link to Invidious

  For redirections you can also use the extensions Redirector and RequestControl. The first one is (IMHO) easier to configure, but the second one has more features. Source: about 1 year ago

• Module Federation in Production: architecture, development workflow, and deployments

  In this example, we will use a client-rendered app. We will primarily use two tools: a browser plugin called Redirector and a CDN like AWS's CloudFront. If you prefer serving static files or if the app is server-rendered, you can even use an NGINX reverse-proxy. However, for this example, we will only be using CloudFront. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Apps that should be paid, but are not (Part 6)

  Https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/ - Create redirects for specific webpages - e.g. Always redirect http://bing.com to http://google.com - on firefox and chromium browsers - I am using it redirect big sites to my self-hosted alternatives, one example I can give would be - StackOverflow -> AnonymousOverflow - YT -> Invidius.

• To the people bummed out about the new update, I may have found a fix where you need not log in :)

  Install a redirection extension; I find redirector to be the simplest and safest for now; somebody told me that it has not been maintained for some years; therefore, it may be buggy; choose some other extension, if you may. Source: over 1 year ago

• Explore Wikipedia’s New Look | Wikimedia Foundation

  I just remembered, there's a Firefox addon I use called Redirector, which I already have set up to redirect mobile Wikipedia links to desktop. Problem is, I didn't write the rules I'm using myself, and they appear to use regex. Source: over 1 year ago

• Arkenfox propositions, uBlock Origin settings and a few more.

  [2] Arkenfox suggest optionally to use "Redirector" extension, but it was updated in early 2020. This is fine, or should we avoid extensions, that are not maintained regularly? Theoretically answer is simple – avoid, but if everything works, maybe it's not a problem? Source: over 1 year ago

• The most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter

  You can use an extension like (Redirector)[https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/] to automatically redirect any Twitter URL to Nitter with the following: `Redirect: https://twitter.com/*. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• John Carmack on Avoiding Distractions

  Some popular sites have alternative interfaces, e.g. Twitter → Nitter. They are a much better user experience if you just want to lurk. Configure your browser to automatically redirect: • https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect#custom-instances • https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/ (use for Imgur → Rimgo until Privacy Redirect has it). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• HACK: Open pastebin links redirect to POBB.in

  I was able to accomplish this by installing this extension (I used Firefox, but it's all the same): https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Tips for tweaking Firefox for slow connections?

  Woo, very interesting. I use Redirector, but Request Control seems to have many more features. I will look into it. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Redirect from Twitter to Nitter fails because of late script execution

  I use Redirector for this kind of thing. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What Are Your Most Used Self Hosted Applications?

  I use a Firefox extension to do it - https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/. You might be able to do some local DNS with a wildcard shenanigans, but this is much easier to set up. I actually don't redirect my Reddit requests, since once in a blue moon I will want to comment on something, which libreddit doesn't support. However Invidious does have the option to let you follow certain channels, and since I don't... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
