Redirect Blocker: Protect Your Privacy and Speed Up Your Browsing

Redirect Blocker is a free Chrome add-on developed by redirectblocker. It is designed to protect your privacy and improve browsing speed by removing tracking and unnecessary redirects.

With Redirect Blocker, you can say goodbye to the annoying redirections that websites use to track you, monetize their links, or gather statistics. By removing these redirections, Redirect Blocker enhances your privacy and reduces the time it takes to load web pages.

The add-on works by decrypting URLs locally when the destination site is visible, or through its data engine when the destination is hidden. It also employs a learning feature to detect and analyze suspicious sites that perform unwanted redirections. You can even report such sites to the developer via email.

Redirect Blocker is a great complement to popular ad blockers like AdBlock Plus, uBlock Origin, AdGuard, and Ghostery. Unlike these blockers, Redirect Blocker not only blocks ads but also transparently bypasses redirections, ensuring that you reach your desired destination page without being tracked.

Your review for Redirect Blocker
Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
