A simple script that automatically redirects Reddit links to a more privacy-focused alternative. libreddit.freedit.eu
I just tested it and it works well with minimal code wow. I don't have any knowledge in making userscripts. I just googled some basic queries and based my code from various examples. This is a learning example. Thanks.
I could explain it to you.
First of all, I changed match to this:
// @match *://*.reddit.com/*
We are going to check hostname and subdomain later anyway, so we don't need big @match
structures.
Then I changed window.location.href
to window.location.hostname
because we only need test check hostname (bold URL part here: httpsㅤ://reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor).
Then using regular expression I was checking if current hostname is hostname we need.
There is little explanation to line 21:
We are checking if the line starts and ends with old.reddit.com
, or www.reddit.com
, or reddit.com
. (Also, it can match .reddit.com
, but I that's not a problem because that's invalid URL, so browser won't load it)
I also check if location.replace
method exists, if it exists, then I'm using it. It works better in some of the cases, than location.href
. But if it doesn't exist in the current version of the browser, then I just use location.href
because we have no other choice.
