It's powerful but the operation makes no sense.

To remove redirects on link mouseover, we can either:

1) don't modify the indirect link, give the user an option to use the direct link. (this addon's method)
2) make the link direct, give the user an option to use the indirect link(s).

There is only one consideration to determine which one is more efficient from a user perspective. Which is desired most often: direct or indirect links?

I think everyone can agree that the direct link is desired WAY more often. Why would I want the extra step of having to manually choose the direct link if that's what I want 9 times out of 10?

In fact, indirect links are only useful on specific sites which is why the user should be able to whitelist them.


Redirect Remover was the best...
