Is "RS Wiki Redirector" on Chrome Web Store Safe to Install?

[email protected] · chrome · v1.4.2

Redirects all requests to oldschoolrunescape.wikia.com, runescapeclassic.wikia.com and runescape.wikia.com to the new websites at runescape.wiki, classic.runescape.wiki and oldschool.runescape.wiki respectively. See https://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Leaving_Wikia for why the domain name change occurred. Note: this works with subdomains such as rs.wikia.com, osrs.wikia.com, 2007.runescape.wikia.com, as those just redirect to the previously mentioned addresses anyways. Source Code: https://github.com/proEndreeper/RSWikiRedirector Changelog: v1.4.1 - Support added for the Portuguese wiki and the classic wiki. In addition, the removed search results will now have their removal message show up where the original result was instead of showing up at the bottom of the search group. v1.4.0 - Google search results for the old wiki may now be hidden. v1.3.0 - Fixed cached results not redirecting to new wiki v1.2.1 - Added support for fandom.com urls v1.1.1 - Fixed a few minor issues. v1.1 - Added ability to disable extension's redirecting without removing/disabling the plugin. v1.0 - Initial release Credits: Thanks to jaydenkieran and RMHonor for helping add features and new sites to the redirector.
