Automatic proxy redirect for certain sites (configured by the user)

Open Robert321245 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Instead needing to click on "Reload page" to access the page using a ezproxy, it would be nice to be able to configure certain sites to always be opened using EXProxy Redirect.

This could be with a "Aways use EXProxy Redirect for this site" button in the context menu, or adding the sites in a list.

For example, I would like to always access sciencedirect.com, tandfonline.com, nature.com, link-springer.com, onlinelibrary.wiley.com through the an ezproxy.

I made something similar utilizing the Redirector extension (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/redirector/ocgpenflpmgnfapjedencafcfakcekcd): https://github.com/peiranxiao/journal-redirector

The code needs to be manually replaced for your institution though.

Thanks for the link! I still agree this would be a good feature. I just need to implement it in a way that it doesn't change the base permissions required by the extension. We should be able optionally request this permission when a user wants to do this, but I just haven't had time recently to implement this.
