NOTES:
* Don't let the unimpressive rating fool you. This is a simple, no-nonsense extension that does exactly what it says and no more. You have to know how to create a Javascript-flavor regular expression to use it.
* Chrome will inform you that this extension can "Read your browsing history". This is a result of two permissions that we require: "webNavigation" to intercept navigation requests and rewrite the URL, and "tabs" to open the existing extension options page (if already exists) instead of creating a new one when you click on the icon. I do not care about your browsing history.
WHAT'S NEW:
* You can now remove part of a URL by leaving the replacement text blank.
* The test page warns you if your rewrite rule is going to remove the protocol (http://, https://) from URLs making them relative.
Based on "Host name rewriter" by Mattias Lundberg.
URL Rewriter edits certain URLs, whether typed in or linked, via a set of rules before navigating to the URL. A rule consists of a regular expression specified in capture groups, a capture group number to replace, and the replacement text for that group. When you click on a link or type a URL in the address bar, it is checked against each of the rules. If a matching rule is found, the text of the specified capturing group number is replaced with the specified text.
Example:
- Regex: ^(http[s]?\:\/\/.*\.)(toothboiler)(\..*\/watch\?v=.*)$
- Group number to replace: 2
- Replacement text: youtube
- If you click a link for "http://www.toothboiler.com/watch?v=abcdefg", it matches the regex rule and capture group 2 ("toothboiler") is replaced with "youtube" to result in "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcdefg".
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
