Summary

Fixes links on click - prevents website redirecting to a different URL Example: Image/Text can link to http://A.com/out/?site=http://B.com (as seen in status bar when mouse is over the link) but redirect to different site on click. This add-on makes sure http://B.com is always opened instead.

It doesn't slow down browsing because it does not modify page content. It doesn't clean a link copied to clipboard. It needs access to page data so it can clean the link before it is opened.

Other link cleaner extension might need to be removed for it to work correctly.

On issue, please send the link to a page with uncleanable links to the listed support email. Make sure Add-on is ON in the Toolbar.
