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.

    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.

    A great solution for, for example, customizing the display of a default sort order for comments on Reddit other than "Best". Unfortunately, setting up the rules requires knowledge of regular expressions, which is not something every housewife can do. I would suggest using something like the method used by the "Add custom search engine" extension by Tom Schuster as an accessible alternative.

    Solid extension! Using it to redirect x.com to twitter to make the blueblocker extension work. Easy and fast setup

    Excellent.

    Although, the example doesn't work (needs https). I submitted an issue on GitHub.

    Great addon! Wish it was more easier to use though! Used it to redirect reddit user profiles to gilded version on new.reddit.com since original reddit caused too many redirects! I had to look up the guide for the addon and "Redirect using query string parameter and wildcards" helped me!

    Fixed the nightmare of logged out Reddit. This has been a curse on me for far too long. Thank you Einar.
