# 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.
## Browser Extensions
### Chrome
The extension is available on [the chrome web store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rfd-redirect-stripper/npnhoaofocjfjcjlglaihlhkbgaokmpa?authuser=0&hl=en).
### Firefox
The add-on is available [here](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rfd-redirect-stripper/).
### 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.

For example:
```text
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davegallant/rfd-redirect-stripper/my-new-branch/redirects.json
```
## Tampermonkey Script
This was originally a [Tampermonkey](https://www.tampermonkey.net/) userscript before evolving into a browser extension.
To use as a tampermonkey script, copy [script.js](./script.js) into Tampermonkey.
