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.

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.
