Redirect Guard

A security extension that intercepts malicious or annoying automatic redirects and provides a user-defined blocklist.

Protect your browsing experience with Redirect Guard, the ultimate utility designed to block annoying, malicious, and suspicious automatic redirects. Featuring a clean dark design and powerful interception algorithms, it gives you back full control over your tab navigations. ### Key Features: * Free Tier: - Blocklist Control: Register up to 3 domains to block completely. Intercepted requests are redirected to a safe, sandboxed offline page. - Automatic Redirect Chain Interruption: Prevent web pages from bouncing your browser through multiple URLs in a short time. By default, it interrupts navigation loops when 4+ hops occur within 4 seconds. - Interception Analytics: Access local stats and recent event logs to see what has been blocked. * Pro Tier (Upgrade Benefits): - Unlimited Blocklist: Add infinite domains to secure your browsing space. - Dynamic Sensitivity Tuning: Fine-tune the loop detection threshold (2-5 hops) and duration window (2-6 seconds) to match your workflow. - Desktop Banner Alerts: Get instant native OS notifications whenever an interception is triggered. - Web Audio Alarm: Optional high-pitch chime alert synthesized locally in your browser. - Whitelist Exceptions: Register trusted websites to prevent redirect loop protection from interfering with secure single-sign-on (SSO) logins. ### Why Choose Redirect Guard? - 100% Client-Side Interception: Blocking and analysis run entirely inside your browser. No external servers read your active browsing data. - Privacy-Focused: We do not track, collect, or share your browsing history. All blocklists, whitelist exceptions, and statistics are stored locally on your machine. - Zero-Config Start: Simply install, sign up, and enjoy automatic protection.
