Description

Some sites use redirects for all external links - mostly to track the clicks, or to camouflage the exact origin. The latter is probably the case with Webmail interfaces as e.g. CommuniGate provides them. But those redirects can be annoying, and sometimes even contra-productive (if you e.g. use a plugin like No-Referer to handle anonymization yourself.

This is where this little script comes in. It checks for URLs with the http protocol, where the first level (after the host) is "/Redirect/, takes everything that follows this term, prepends the "http://" again, and rewrites the URL correspondingly. Then it's in your hands to either use an extension as mentioned above to follow this link without any referrer - or keep the referrer completely intact...
