I built this extension because I found myself reflexively opening Reddit or Twitter while waiting for builds to compile. The existing redirectors I tried were either closed-source, requested weird permissions, or felt too clunky.
URL Redirector is a simple, privacy-first alternative:
-- Zero Latency: Built on the declarativeNetRequest API.
-- Privacy: No analytics, no tracking, MIT licensed.
-- Gamified: It tracks how many times you've "restored reality" (deflected a distraction).
-- Local: Import/Export rules to JSON (no sync servers).
It lets you map things like reddit.com -> localhost:3000 or docs.google.com.
