## Why?

## Tampermonkey Script
This was originally a [Tampermonkey](https://www.tampermonkey.net/) userscript before evolving into a browser extension.
Copy [script.js](./script.js) into Tampermonkey.
## Browser Extensions
### Chrome
The extension is available [here](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rfd-redirect-stripper/npnhoaofocjfjcjlglaihlhkbgaokmpa?authuser=0&hl=en).
### Firefox
The extension is available [here](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rfd-redirect-stripper/).
Ensure that permissions are granted. If this is not done, the extension will not have permission to execute.
