User reviews

Significantly less useful now that Nitter has shut down. It's not exactly the extension's fault but the primary redirect will no longer load.

Having to update my review as unfortunately the Twitter redirects (basically all I need this for) have all but stopped working. vampire.xyz is a for sale domain, nitter seems to have an issue with it's security certificate and cannot be bypassed by Edge and quite often get tweet or page not found. Shame, great concept.

Risk impact

Privacy Redirect is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
