Description (please include examples/screenshots where applicable)
It took me a long time to figure out, why the web.archive.org always takes me to the current website and not the archived one. Then I found that Remove Redirect removes the web.archive.org part. The following entry into the blacklist saves the day:
^https?://web.archive.org/
(A possible alternative is: ^https?://web.archive.org/web/[[:digit:]]{14}/ is more stringent and might be preferred.)
Could you please add this to the default blacklist, because I believe I am not the only (https://github.com/hyperfekt/webextension-remove-redirect/issues/8#issuecomment-520246652) one bitten by this. Thanks. And thanks for this wonderful add-on!
Haha, I have definitely also been bitten by this. I figure the archive definitely is used commonly enough to warrant addition to the default.
I am really surprised, that just one single user has mentioned this problem! Thanks for considering this.
