I've published an extension on the chrome store now:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rfd-redirect-stripper/npnhoaofocjfjcjlglaihlhkbgaokmpa?authuser=0&hl=en

0.5 is requesting more permissions than necessary.

In 0.5.1, I've removed unnecessary scripting and host_permissions. It should be out soon.

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

@YesTrustMe Do you have the steps to reproduce this?
Hey Dave,
Sorry for the late reply, I haven't had a chance to respond until now.

All I can do in Tampermonkey is to go to Utilites (pull down menu) and select "check for userscript updates". Your extension isn't updating. I have to copy and paste the script manually. On my Windows 7 laptop, the last update is 2022 (despite forcing an update).

I look forward to your Chrome Extension, that's fantastic news! However, it's not compatible with Windows 7.

Hopefully there will be a Firefox extension. Until then, I'll manually copy the script whenever I have issues on RFD.

There is a Firefox Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rfd-redirect-stripper/

Regarding the tampermonkey script updates, I have a suspicion it's not updating because the version is not being bumped in the script: https://github.com/davegallant/rfd-redirect-stripper/blob/2993b464fd180fc2f9545cdc1d9c0a11227d0a8e/script.js#L10

I can look into automatically bumping that version every time the file is modified.

@YesTrustMe I added automatic calendar versioning to the tampermonkey script: https://github.com/davegallant/rfd-redirect-stripper/pull/33/files

I quickly tested this and it seems to pull the latest now.

@davegallant Sounds good. I haven't tested it out myself as I am using your extension for now as I haven't needed to log into my Windows 7 PC. But if I notice any issues, I'll let you know!.
