NoDetour

Changes links passed through redirection scripts to point straight to the final URL.

Description

Changes links passed through redirection scripts (e.g. /cgi-bin/redirect.cgi?url=http://foo.com - often used for tracking click-throughs or forcing visitors through an intermediate adverts page) to point straight to the final URL. Based on my "link neutraliser" bookmarklet http://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/48/

A rather technical note to those who ask me to "add a site" to this extension: I don't keep a particular list of sites that I modify inside this extension...it simply tries to run a pattern match over any links it finds. Certain sites will use other means of obfuscating/redirecting links that this extension simply can't handle. If the site you're asking me to support doesn't actually have the clear final URL somewhere in its full address (usually as a GET parameter), then this extension won't help you either.
