Open and redirect a link or the current page to somewhere else. You can redirect a link you clicked or the current page to Google's WebCache, Wayback Machine and archive.is and you can add more.

Usage

You can redirect links and the current page. Current page can be redirected by clicking the right mouse button on the page, not on any kind of media or other elements, but basically the background.

Left mouse click redirects in the current tab and middle click redirects in a new tab.

Watch a demo video what this add-on does.

Options

The URL field denotes where the page or the link is redirected to. It must start with a scheme, e.g. https://. It can contain formats, which are replaced by the component parts of the link's or page's URL. If the URL doesn't contain any formats, the link's or page's URL is appended to this URL.

Formats
%u - entire URL
%s - scheme
%h - hostname
%p - whole path without the leading slash, or %p[N], where N is index of the path part. e.g. in http://example.com/a/b/c?param=1, %p[0] is a, %p[1] is b and %p[2] is c
%q - all query parameters, or %q[KEY], where KEY is the name of the query parameter. e.g. in http://example.com/?a=1&b=2, %q[a] is 1 and %q[b] is 2
%f - fragment
%r[REGEX] - the regular expression is replaced with the match, or if capture groups are used, their matches are concatenated or empty string if there's no match. Right square brackets must be escaped in the regex. E.g. https://%r[[a-z.\]+]

There are examples in the other screenshot.

To enable a redirection everywhere, leave Enable URL field empty. If you want to enable it only on certain URLs, add the URL or part of it and you can use a regular expression also.
This feature works only on versions 63 and newer.

The Open in a Container option doesn't do anything, unless containers are enabled in the browser.

You can reorder redirections by dragging and dropping redirection rows by pressing a drag button.

Remember to save if you changed options!
