There is a few chrome/fx extensions to bypass the filter. These might be/become dangerous as they get access to modify the redirect page without affecting the green lock/seal.
I inspected the current three chrome extensions, they seem clean and have 500 installs each. Not having an option pushes these people to install a possible dangerous extension that also just bypases the filter anyway. If an option is the solution it should be tiny more accessible than installing an extension.
I don't fully know what the filter is preventing, another option might be to not show it for big known sites to minimize annoyance. Implementing a whitelist that somhow gets updated might be more complex but safer than having it completely off.
Nothing extracted yet.
How about it? It seems a bit unnecessary for every link especially when you already know the dangers of clicking links.
Currently I'm using
As a userscript on https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/* in Firefox.
It might be silly to add the option to turn it off in the regular settings which could lead to users ticking it off without knowing what it does, so maybe a launch option or something else for the people that aren't exactly protected by this anyway?
It's a bit silly for double requests for every url you click on and it's pretty silly in privacy perspective.
