Redirector

Redirector is a Firefox add-on that lets you create redirects for specific webpages, e.g. always redirect http://bing.com to http://google.com. It was originally done by request for someone on the Mozillazine forums. Include/excludepPatterns can be specified using regular expressions or simple wildcards and the resulting url can use substitutions based on captures from the original url. The add-on can for example be used to redirect a site to its https version, redirect news paper articles to their print versions, redirect pages to use specific proxy servers and more. It’s hosted at the Mozilla Add-ons website, where you can read more about how the addon works and download the latest version. Support requests can be posted here in the comments.

   @Justin: Unfortunately due to the way the addon is implemented this is not currently possible. I have had some ideas about how to change the implementation to allow redirecting everything (create a proxy server that examines the urls and sends back 302 Moved headers for urls that should be redirected) but it will take a bit of work and I doubt that I’ll have time for it for the next few weeks or months.

   Are there any plans in implementing this add-in to chrome or safari?
