[feature] Dont follow redirects option

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm monitoring a website (websiteA) that redirects to another website (websiteB) to ensure that website. A doesn't become malicious and suddenly redirects to a malicious websiteM. But the websiteB has too many changes per week, thus I have too many notifications per week.

Describe the solution you'd like The easier way to fix this would be an option to dont follow redirects.

Describe the use-case and give concrete real-world examples For example, this website only has this html:

curl http://ksuite.ch   
<a href="https://www.infomaniak.com/fr/ksuite?utm_term=5ad10e332bf85">Moved Permanently</a>.

But the change-detector follows redirect and adds a noisy content that belongs to infomaniak.com (and not ksuite.ch).

With the "dont follow redirects" option, we could easyly monitor a website like ksuite.ch.

Thanks

This is useful when I want to monitor changes in a website's domain. Is there any other way to do this now?
