!!! DANGEROUS CLONE - The Real Developer is Einar Egilsson Please be very careful before installing. This extension is an unauthorized clone of a well-known open-source tool. I noticed this has the exact same name, icon, and description as the original "Redirector" extension, but the developer is different. The trusted, original version is by developer Einar Egilsson and has been available for many years with 356 comments(current version is 3.5.3). This fake version uses a higher version number (5.0) to trick users into thinking it's a new update. This is a common tactic for malicious extensions. Installing this could put your security and privacy at risk (data theft, unwanted ads, etc.). I strongly recommend you search for "Redirector" and install the official version from developer Einar Egilsson. I am reporting this to Google and encourage others to do the same.
It simply does not work.
are these reviews all bots? this extension is an exact fork of the old one except this one DOES NOT WORK whatsoever lol. this is either malware or a donation scam, either way don't bother, absolute garbage. rate this review helpful so other people can see it.
Anyone who publishes a fork of an extension should at least change the icon or name by adding (MV3) for example. Also the domain extenhub.com seems sketchy. Original extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/redirector/ocgpenflpmgnfapjedencafcfakcekcd Edit: I missed the links at the bottom of the store description, however I still do not see any on the website and the repository's Git history was not preserved.
