FoxyTab: Override URL redirect

[kevinbbbb]

I use the URL redirect function of FoxyTab to make browsing faster. But occasionaly, it would be nice to override the redirect and reach the primary URL. I think this is not implemented (yet).

So you mean override redirect for a single pattern or disable redirect completely?

Maybe it becomes clear with an example. I use goodsite.com/* badsite.com/$1 to redirect all goodsite.com/* links to badsite.com/$1, because I like goodsite better. But it doesn't have all the features badsite has and occasionally (rarely), I'd like to visit badsite instead.

I think a good solution would be to override all redirections for a single tab, not affecting other tabs. In my case, I would like redirection to be disabled for the designated tab indefinitely so that I can browse and click further links on badsite.com/... without being redirected to the goodsite.com/... equivalent.

Possibly this could be accomplished with the right-click menu that opens when you click on a tab.

The redirect is processed before a tab starts to load, therefore a single tab operation (disable on this tab) would not be practical. It might be possible to add an option to enable/disable the entire redirect process.

That would mean:

• Go to Options page
• Disable Redirect
• Save

In order to revert:

• Go to Options page
• Enable Redirect
• Save
