This add-on isn't compatible with Pale Moon Browser, which does not support WebExtensions. I would really love to use this add-on, but unless Pale Moon compatibility is added, I can't use it. If Pale Moon compatibility is ever added, I will change my review to five stars.

Edit: The developer very kindly helped me find an older version that works, and it's an excellent extension! Does exactly what it says it does and it's fairly versatile with its capabilities. Definitely earns the 5 stars.

    regex is faulty:

    ^.*google\.com$

    wont match https:// www. google. com/ f.i. (without spaces)

    On desktop, use it to autosort web stores by price low to high every click. Tired of it always going to "Most relevant" ☠️
    And on mobile! Use it to go around annoying mobile/desktop toggle sites. Mostly just skip the mobile site entirely 😁 if I want the mobile site only, I can just find their app 🙄

    I've used this for a while to change site homepages and the like. Very easy to use, very user-friendly.

    Since "Block Site" no longer reliably redirects live.vodafone.* to another site, I was forced to look for an alternative solution - and that's how I found "Redirector," which has been working great so far.

    Thank you so much. I had to manually edit the link in one of our platforms every time I a clicked link when outside of the network...
    Now I don't have to. This made my life so much happier

    Does not always function; specific URLs are simply not redirected, despite perfectly matching the pattern. This seems to be a related to different servers and how they handle HTTP requests; however, other add-ons can perform redirects perfectly, while this add-on cannot.

    The add-on fails silently, and does not even make an attempt to redirect these URLs.

    Excellent. Great documentation and it works flawlessly. Thank you!

    Love this extension. These days search engines are giving you 25+ years of internet history by default, and for many subjects that can be a lot of old data that is not relevant. I used the extension to add a date range filter to the past year by adding "&df=y" to the URL.
    Example
    Pattern: h++ps://duckduckgo.com/*
    Redirect: h++ps://duckduckgo.com/$1&df=y

    Replace "+" with "t" had to change in order for site to allow post.

    Project I'm working on has an old domain and a new one. No idea why, but we're supposed to use the new one. People still send me to the old one...everything is identical except the domain. I have to login everyday and it's a pain. This extension has solved that and I can simply click people's incorrect links and be redirected to the new domain no problem!

    It works fine. However, it doesn't work when I click some links like on a username who blocked me.
