02 URL rewrite rules Released

Reroute

Rewrite URLs on the way in. Wildcards, regular expressions, and a rule tester that tells the truth.

Reroute redirects and rewrites URLs before they load. Write rules with wildcards or regular expressions, use capture groups and transforms, and check each rule against sample URLs before you turn it on. A built-in cleaner strips tracking parameters using the ClearURLs rule catalog shipped inside the extension.

Add to Chrome Source

Published on the Chrome Web Store. Also works in Edge: install from the same listing.

What it does

  1. 01
    Wildcard and regex rules

    Match with simple wildcards or full regular expressions. Use capture groups in the destination and apply transforms such as lowercase, encode or decode.

  2. 02
    SPA and history-state redirects

    Rules also apply to navigations that never hit the network, such as single-page apps changing the URL with pushState.

  3. 03
    Tracking-parameter cleaner

    Removes utm_*, fbclid, gclid and hundreds of other tracking parameters using the ClearURLs rule catalog. The catalog ships inside the extension; nothing is downloaded at runtime.

  4. 04
    Per-site allowlist

    Exclude sites where redirects should never apply. Allowlist entries win over every rule.

  5. 05
    Rule tester

    Paste a URL and see exactly which rule matches, what the captures are, and the resulting destination, before the rule is enabled.

  6. 06
    Import from Redirector

    Import a Redirector rule export and get the same rules, one to one, including wildcards, regex, exclude patterns and resource types.

Import from Redirector

Reroute reads Redirector rule export files (.json). Export your rules from Redirector, open Reroute, choose Import, pick the file. Each rule is converted one to one and disabled until you review it. The file is parsed in your browser and never uploaded.

Redirector is a separate product by its own authors. Reroute is not affiliated with or endorsed by it; the name is used only to describe the file format Reroute can read.
