The URL Forwarder extension allows you to block and redirect links in your browser which match a given pattern.
The in browser options are stay, block or redirect. The stay option will rediect matching URLs to the URL of the last active tab, which is in most cases the page where you clicked the link. Block will show a browser block page and with the redirect action you can specify a new URL which will be opened.
The use of this extension comes together with its natice counterpart. The host app receives all URLs which are matched together with a target (app) and additional arguments you can specify. Togehter with the stay action this allows you to open a link you click in another application, e.g. another browser.
You can download the host app, get additional information and the source code at: https://github.com/irgangla/url_forwarder/tree/master/host
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!
