Redirect Blocker is a free Chrome add-on developed by redirectblocker. It is designed to protect your privacy and improve browsing speed by removing tracking and unnecessary redirects.

With Redirect Blocker, you can say goodbye to the annoying redirections that websites use to track you, monetize their links, or gather statistics. By removing these redirections, Redirect Blocker enhances your privacy and reduces the time it takes to load web pages.

The add-on works by decrypting URLs locally when the destination site is visible, or through its data engine when the destination is hidden. It also employs a learning feature to detect and analyze suspicious sites that perform unwanted redirections. You can even report such sites to the developer via email.

Redirect Blocker is a great complement to popular ad blockers like AdBlock Plus, uBlock Origin, AdGuard, and Ghostery. Unlike these blockers, Redirect Blocker not only blocks ads but also transparently bypasses redirections, ensuring that you reach your desired destination page without being tracked.
