Just wanted to add a positive review for this app/extension. Seems well/nicely implemented. Makes life easier than using TamperMonkey or such. Library of redirects is a nice feature. Developer is active and responsive on Reddit. Not used the direct feedback on the app itself yet but seems positive. Bought the lifetime subscription whilst is reasonable cost. Never left an app review to this point but want to encourage the Developer to maintain support for this app! Would encourage other users to do the same. Thank you.

Does what it says, really handy! Use it for fixing Reddit and Google, and working around breakage is some ancient sites. The functionality is included in some other extensions but it's usually nothing like as comprehensive as in this one. Dev responded to my complaints by implementing fixes very quickly. Great work, thanks a lot!

Developer Response
Edit (2024/10/07): The issue you initially reported was indeed a bug. I apologize for the confusion earlier, but thanks to your detailed feedback, I was able to fix it. I really appreciate your help!————I think you haven't clicked the icon of this extension on Safari's toolbar yet. This extension needs your permission to work, and clicking the icon triggers the permission request. Therefore, you need to click it and allow it at least once.Regarding the crash, I haven't received any other bug reports yet. Could you please send me a video of what it looks like? You can send it through the companion app > "Help" on the menu bar > Send feedback.

Had a bit of trouble getting my urls correct at first but worked like a charm when I switched to regular expression. Perfect for redirecting to privacy frontends and avoiding all the bloat that comes with social media sites.
