A simple utility to redirect from short-links, like go/foo, to full urls, like https://google.com.
In order to use this, you'll want to download a browser extension (the main interaction involves browser navigation). Available for Chrome and Firefox.
Powered by CloudFlare workers. Check out worker/.
Does two things:
- has a popup to let you set new shortlinks
- intercepts requests to
https://go/<path>and redirect them to the CloudFlare worker backend.
Firefox is particularly reluctant to actually navigate to a URL like "go/foo". Because they don't look like valid links, it will usually default to performing a Google search.
To fix this, go to about:config and add a config entry for
browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.go = true. This will tell Firefox that go is
a valid domain, all on its own, and it should try resolving it.
