ClearUrls VS requestcontrol

ClearURLs locally re-writes common "bounce" redirect links, avoiding a double round-trip when clicking on Google search links (among many others). I supplement this with Redirector for some light automation (old.reddit.com etc), but that's probably overkill.

According it Addon page in AMO, ClearURL seem actually on Gitlab https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls

You can use Request Control to remove specific or all parameters from URLs from certain domains and do all kinds of redirections with them. If you find it too complicated, use the ClearURLs support page to ask them to clean up Reddit links for you.

Here's the source code. What attack surface is it adding?

CleadURLs might be useful? It's supposed to do this:

Check out this page and this extension to clean URL automatically, they get way shorter oftentimes.

To add to your list: ClearURLs, LocalCDN

You can use Request Control with this rule. Import it from your settings.

You can use Request Control with a rule like the one in this example. To redirect all URLs, the path should be *.

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.

If you're willing to create your own rules, you can replace all of these with Request Control.

You can redirect any URL pattern with extensions such as Request Control.

Install Request Control

You can use Request Control with this rule. Copy it to Notepad and save it on your computer, and then open the extension settings to import it.

Use an extension that lets you create custom redirects, like Request Control.

I use Request Control. See these example rules:

If the themes are in two separate files, for example, https://example.com/light.css and https://example.com/dark.css, it's possible to use Request Control to intercept requests to light.css and redirect them to dark.css instead. I do this with some sites that have separate themes but do not respect my prefers-color-scheme preference (dark).
