# 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](https://www.tampermonkey.net/) userscript before evolving into a browser extension. Copy [script.js](./script.js) into Tampermonkey. ## Browser Extensions ### Firefox The extension is available [here](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rfd-redirect-stripper/). Ensure that permissions are granted. If this is not done, the extension will not have permission to execute. image ### Building the extension To build the extension, run: ```sh npm install npm run build ``` ## Updating redirects The browser extension will update the list of redirects by periodically fetching the latest [redirects.json](redirects.json). Open a pull request to this repo to update the redirects. An easy way to test regex: [regex101.com](https://regex101.com/). New config can be tested by pointing the config url of the extension to your own branch. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4519234/230703252-a7e09cf6-d0e5-4f54-8973-3b93d4a4a5a2.png) For example: ```text https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davegallant/rfd-redirect-stripper/my-new-branch/redirects.json ```
