2 suggestions for this great addon:

1. include a pre-set rule for those "shortened" URL service.

2. implement the features of "redirect remover" inn which its development is abandoned: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/537

Then, this addon is really great at tackling all "redirects" in combination with noscript.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.4).

Thank you for your suggestion and for filing a bug on this. NoRedirect takes a different approach than Redirect Remover; NR works by intercepting network responses, and RR works by modifying URL patterns. The two approaches are very different and don't have a lot of overlap, either technically or in terms of use case. NR can handle a lot of use cases that RR can't handle, and RR can handle a lot of use cases that NR can handle. The target use cases for both extensions are different and don't have a lot of overlap.
