Sürüm Notları

• [Firefox] Fixed an issue where the extension didn't handle in-page navigation correctly. This issue caused a problem where the redirection didn't happen on sites like Google Maps, for example.

This version is only available for the extension in Firefox Add-ons (AMO). There is no equivalent version for other browsers or the native app.

• Now supports navigation to the localized support website. For example, Japanese users are directed to the Japanese version of the site.
• Fixed an issue where the QuickLook preview was not displaying correctly.
• [macOS] Fixed an issue where JSON files couldn't be opened by dragging and dropping them onto the app icon in the dock.
• Tweaked translations.

• [macOS] Fixed an issue where extensions for Firefox couldn't connect to the Redirect Web app. The problem occurred when the folder for manifest files of native messaging hosts didn't exist. Mozilla considers it the browser’s responsibility to create this folder, but they haven't done so as noted in their 8-year-old bug report. To address this, we added a check that creates the folder if it's missing. This fallback mechanism is applied to all supported browsers just in case.

• [iOS] Changed the dark mode app icon.

• [Mac] Fixed a crash that occurred when opening a URL in an app that doesn’t support it. For example, the Figma app doesn’t handle https links because they aren’t listed in its Info.plist. Attempting to open https://figma.com/... in Figma via Redirect Web caused the extension to crash. This wasn’t obvious at first because Safari automatically relaunched the extension, but since we now support non-Safari browsers that lack crash recovery, it became a major bug for them.

• Extension Popup: Fixed that the toggle switches of enabling/disabling the rules were misaligned.

• [Chrome, Firefox] Extension Popup: Fixed that some texts were too small.

• Fixed broken translations of many texts.
• [iOS 18] Supported the tinted icon.

A new major version update! 🚀

Multi-browser support on Mac is here!​

Redirect Web is now available on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and many other browsers on Mac!

Updated Terms & Privacy Policy​

Since we started supporting many browsers, we changed the app’s brand name to Redirect Web from Redirect Web for Safari, and we also updated our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to reflect the renaming. Find the full diff here.

Bug fixes and improvements​

• Fixed a bug of the DNR redirection type. Now, Redirect Web can set your DNR rules more reliably.
• Fixed occasional redirection loop caused when you use the Original redirection type.
• Improved the performance of the extension by optimizing the background script.
• Changed the name of the Rules screen to My Rules for better clarity.
• Stopped adding escape sequences for slashes in the strings in exported rule files. It was unnecessary and only decreased readability.
• [iOS] Edit Rule screen: Improved usability and intuitiveness.
• [iOS] Fixed an issue where the extension popup was not displayed when the App Lock feature was enabled on iOS 18 or later.
• [iOS] Added a Change Passcode button to the App Lock settings screen.
• Other minor UI improvements and bug fixes.
  • Fixed the toggle switches for enabling and disabling each rule in the extension popup. Previously, the switch animation was not smooth. It appeared to briefly revert to the previous state when clicked.
  • [iOS] Library screen: Improved the animation shown when pushing the Get button for a pre-defined rule.
  • [iOS] My Rules screen: Fixed an issue where the title of the Rules screen remained stuck at the top when scrolling.
  • [iPad] Fixed a bug where the navigation bar buttons and the tab bar were misaligned on the Rules tab.
  • [iPad] Restored the screen title of each tab previously removed in iPadOS 18 as a workaround for the alignment issue. Now that the bug is fixed, the titles are shown again.

• Fixed a crash that could occur when entering an invalid URL pattern in the Redirect From section on the Edit Rule screen. This issue has existed since version 7.17.0. We recommend updating to this version if you have already installed 7.17.0 or later. Sorry for the inconvenience.

TL;DR: Only minor changes.

• Changed the terminology from "Redirect Rule" to just "Rule" to prepare for potential future support of additional DNR actions, including block and modifyHeaders, alongside the existing redirect action.
• [iPadOS 18] Fixed an issue where the shooting-star animation, shown when getting a pre-defined rule from the Library, was not displaying correctly.
• Updated the app descriptions on the App Store.
• Localized the app screenshots for the iOS App Store in Japan. (Maybe we'll also localize for other regions soon.)

• Hot fix of displaying the detailed error message introduced in 7.17.0.
• Updated the app screenshots in the App Store.
