rfd-redirect-stripper

rfd-redirect-stripper strips affiliate redirects from deal links posted on https://forums.redflagdeals.com.

Why?

This helps navigate around broken links when using certain adblockers.

Tampermonkey Script

This was originally a Tampermonkey userscript before evolving into a browser extension.

Copy script.js into Tampermonkey.

Browser Extensions

Firefox

The extension is available here.

Ensure that permissions are granted. If this is not done, the extension will not have permission to execute.

Building the extension

To build the extension, run:

npm install
npm run build

Updating redirects

The browser extension will update the list of redirects by periodically fetching the latest redirects.json.

Open a pull request to this repo to update the redirects.

An easy way to test regex: regex101.com.

New config can be tested by pointing the config url of the extension to your own branch.

For example:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davegallant/rfd-redirect-stripper/my-new-branch/redirects.json
