Thanks for the update. I added @aman207 's code. However, I'm confused now with @davegallant 's script. I tried to add it (as a new script) file script.js into Tampermonkey but it came back with an error, "invalid userscript".
Additionally, I suppose there's no way to add a "wild card" feature because RFD is now adding their crap to every URL/link (site)? Adding them manually is quite time consuming, but appreciated nonetheless.

Did you use the "raw" link when adding it? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timwharton/rfd-redirect-stripper/main/script.js

Thanks. No. I used @davegallant link: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/davegallant/70fca6dc6fbb9d55ba456580339ccb22/raw/be0fbad0aad349778655a9052ff9ca73177e294b/rfd-redirect-stripper.js then I "right clicked" to "Save as" rfd-redirect-stripper.js. That didn't work. This is one of my major pet peeves about GH is I don't find it intuitive or simple to add a script or even download a file unless it's clear as crystal.

The URL link: https://github.com/davegallant/rfd-redirect-stripper.git won't update in Tampermonkey with the new changes.

I updated the gist to be the latest commit in main, but updating in both places is a bit cumbersome.

Maybe having the script dynamically update itself by fetching a github file would be better?

I would just start from scratch. Copy and paste the text from here into a new script in tamper monkey https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timwharton/rfd-redirect-stripper/main/script.js

@aman207 Ok.

@davegallant Yes, that would be awesome if the script could update itself automatically.

Hi Dave, I was wondering if you can check this RFD link. I'm diverted back to RFD's main webpage when clicking the HP hyperlink: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/hp-hp-230-wireless-mouse-keyboard-combo-17-99-2606859/

I noticed your script isn't updating automatically in Tampermonkey. I copy and pasted the above and it works beautifully!

I've added two more regular expressions here that should fix this:
davegallant/rfd-affiliate-stripper@1b3abd9

I'm in the process of making browser extensions for both chrome and firefox. This allows for automatic updating in the background.

They are working now, but are not packaged or published yet. See https://github.com/davegallant/rfd-redirect-stripper#browser-extensions

Wow! That's awesome. Looking forward to this!

Firefox extension has been published and approved:

Not sure how much time I'll have for a Chrome extension atm.

Tampermonkey works well so if you don't get around to it. we still have script 👍

Looks like RFD is at it again. The script isn't cleaning this link, but my DNS blocker is blocking it: http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=130832X1694315&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublicmobile.ca%2Fen%2Fon%2Fplans

@YesTrustMe These are both working for me. Are you getting the latest script or extension from here?

This gist is no longer being maintained.

Hi Dave,

Yes, I occasionally copy and paste the contents if there are issues. However, I let Tampermonkey update on it's own.

For instance, this thread here doesn't work for me: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/dell-wireless-keyboard-mouse-20-minus-whatever-coupons-discounts-rewards-2665134/

Interestingly, sometimes the script doesn't work and other times it does after not working for the same link.

Take for instance the above link. I closed and restarted Chrome and it works with an updated script in the link you provided above. Otherwise, this is what it reads:

The webpage at http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-749547-12105225?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dell.com%2Fen-ca%2Fshop%2Fdell-wireless-keyboard-and-mouse-km3322w%2Fapd%2F580-akcw%2Fpc-accessories might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

I'm using the Firefox extension and can't reproduce this. Are you copying and pasting from here? This gist is no longer being updated.

Hi Dave,

The link is working today. I am using Chrome. I also copied and pasted from the link you provided above: https://github.com/davegallant/rfd-redirect-stripper/blob/main/script.js

I'm unclear on what you mean this gist is no longer updated. Does that mean you are no longer updating the RFD stripper script? If that's the case, I won't bother you any further. I appreciate it working as long as it did.

All the best to you and your family in 2024!

Hey. To avoid confusion I edited this gist that we're commenting on to link to https://github.com/davegallant/rfd-redirect-stripper/blob/main/script.js

Any future issues with the script / extension can be created in the issues tab.

Little update:

rfd.fyi is now stripping redirects using the same redirect.json that we've been maintaining here.

Thanks Dave! Do we have to do anything different with the redirect.json or can we just copy and paste normally from: https://github.com/davegallant/rfd-redirect-stripper/blob/main/script.js ?

Yes, this file should stay in sync with the browser extensions now that it's generated in the github action workflow.

Hi Dave. Looks like RFD may have made some changes.

If I go to this url: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/hp-hp-wireless-mouse-200-6-99-hp330-wireless-keyboard-combo-16-99-2699004/ I am redirected to HP's site but what should be happening is the link should reveal the HP items such as mouse and keyboard. Instead, it's showing laptops. Perhaps you can look into?

Dave, just another update. Your script isn't updating on Firefox either. I just thought I would let you know.
