Common Questions

System & Features
What does the orange "ZZZ" badge mean?
This is the Pause State. When you use the "Pause 5m" button in the popup, the extension temporarily deactivates all redirection rules. This allows you to browse without interference for a set duration. The extension will automatically resume and the badge will disappear once the timer expires.
My rule isn't working on sites like YouTube or GitHub. Why?
Many modern websites are Single Page Applications (SPAs). They change the URL using internal scripts rather than a standard page reload. To catch these events, edit your rule and enable History State. This activates specialized logic designed to intercept dynamic navigation transitions.
How does the redirection engine work?
RedirectorPro utilizes the Declarative Net Request (DNR) API. This modern standard allows the browser to process your rules at the network layer for maximum performance. For complex rules requiring transformations like URL Encoding, the extension utilizes a secondary logic engine to ensure accuracy.
Data & Privacy
Is my browsing activity monitored?
RedirectorPro processes URL data to provide the core redirection service. Any data processed is utilized to ensure rule accuracy, improve system performance, and maintain the security of the extension. For detailed information, please review our Privacy Policy.
Why does the extension need permission for "All Websites"?
This technical permission is required because RedirectorPro allows you to create custom rules for any domain on the web. Without this, the browser would block the extension from detecting and applying redirects on the sites you choose to manage.
Support & Migration
Can I migrate rules from other extensions?
Yes. RedirectorPro includes a robust Import feature that supports rule sets in .json format. Our system is specifically designed to handle and sanitize legacy formats from older rule-based redirectors.
Where do I report a bug?
