Redirection Checker

A browser extension for Chromium-based browsers to check the safety of redirections triggered.

Overview

Redirection Checker helps users identify and analyze URL redirections in real-time as they browse, providing insights about where links or navigation attempts may take them. This enhances user security by flagging suspicious or potentially unsafe redirections.

Features

  • Detects and displays all redirections triggered during browsing
  • Provides details about each redirection step (source, destination, HTTP codes, etc.)
  • Warns users of potentially unsafe or suspicious redirects
  • Simple and intuitive UI
  • Lightweight and fast

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
    git clone https://github.com/SuhasNY/redirection-checker.git
  2. Load the extension in Chrome/Edge:
    • Open your browser and go to chrome://extensions/
    • Enable "Developer mode"
    • Click on "Load unpacked"
    • Select the cloned redirection-checker folder

Usage

  • After installation, click on the extension icon in your browser toolbar.
  • Start browsing as usual. The extension will monitor redirects and display information when they occur.
  • Review the details of each redirection directly in the extension popup or options page.

Development

  • JavaScript (core logic and background scripts)
