Libredirect

libredirect is a browser extension redirector and privacy frontend router. It functions as a web request redirector that automatically sends requests to privacy-friendly alternative frontends to prevent tracking.

The tool routes web traffic from popular websites to anonymous mirror sites and privacy-preserving versions of the same content. This mechanism is used for online tracking prevention by bypassing official site domains in favor of anonymity-preserving gateways to minimize data collection.

The project utilizes client-side request interception and declarative network request filtering to match URL patterns against a JSON-based redirect map. It employs pattern-based URL rewriting to transform request URLs into alternative addresses while preserving paths and queries.
