I'm not sure it's possible to do a redirection without using an extension
You can use an extension, or greasy spoon script running in an extension.
I've seen a few extensions that can do this I am more so wondering if it's possible to do this with some kind of tucked away setting. I might resort to using one though. It just gives me flashbacks to being in high school with Chrome and having a dozen useless extensions pushing my browser to a snail's pace.
I had the same issue. Solved it by using one extension that replaces ClearURLs, Lib redirect and a couple of others. It's called Redirector.
First, it handles my new/old reddit link redirection (which is your post topic), redirects all of my privacy frontends (eliminates the need for the Libredirect extension), Wirecutter links to products that go through tracking server first, and also the Amazon
/ref=
tracking (eliminates the need for the ClearURLs extension if you pair it with a special uBO list).This looks like what I've been looking for.
Is it really as simple as doing this?
Most of the time, yes. Options are basically wildcard and regex.
If you run into any problems, pm me. Happy to help.
Wicked. Thanks for your help. This is definitely what I was looking for.
