The extension is no longer available on Chrome. So, I am looking for a way to automatically redirect x.com to xcancel.com
For this specific case there's a "Nitter Redirect" extension

This is also a MV2 extension and therefore also not available on Chrome.
It is available for Chromium, though. https://libredirect.github.io/download_chromium.html https://libredirect.codeberg.page/download_chromium.html
Chrome has disabled support for MV2 extensions (unless you set an enterprise policy) and is entirely removing support for MV2 extensions in v139: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate...
It releases in August.

Ok.

#24I find it annoying when people share direct URLs to PDFs at arxiv.org instead of the the abstract. However, if I were to use a redirect extension like this one, then my own click on the PDF link would get redirected back to the abstract page. To handle this, the redirect rule needs to consider the referer page too, with a possible exception if the referer is the same site as the destination.

You're welcome to quit using spyware as your primary browser if you're dissatisfied with the spyware's treatment of your rights as a user.
If you choose not to, you should probably cede the right to complain about problems solved with MV2 extensions, since those problems are now self-inflicted.

#27Not to be that guy but sounds like a vulnerability waiting to happen
That's why I bricked up all of my windows. Glass is just too easy to break.

#28I use it all the time, pretty handy. Sadly, as people mentioned the original developer passed away and the community needs help, especially to port to manifest V3.
Curious, what are you using it for? Do you have a few examples?
Redirects from translated versions of Google or Microsoft documentation to the English one. The Microsoft ones are okay-ish but I strongly prefer reading the original version. And the Google ones are a patchwork of machine-translated nonsense, "powered by Google Cloud Translation API"
