Is Skip Redirect safe?

Clean risk

Skip Redirect intercepts navigation requests to extract and follow embedded destination URLs, bypassing intermediary redirect pages.

When a page URL contains an encoded destination URL as a parameter, Skip Redirect extracts the target and navigates directly to it, skipping the intermediary. It operates on all URLs by default using webRequest interception, with user-configurable allow/deny lists. A context-menu option also lets users copy the extracted redirect target to the clipboard.
