A free, open source browser extension that saves users time and data by analyzing links and jumping straight to the final destination.
Universal Bypass is a free, open source web browser extension available for Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Opera. It helps improve internet browsing by automatically skipping annoying link redirects, interstitial pages and other unnecessary click-tracking steps on websites.
Many sites use intermediary pages and redirects to track clicks, show ads or collect data before allowing access to the actual content. This creates frustrations for users who just want to quickly get to what they clicked on. Universal Bypass solves this problem by intelligently analyzing links and taking users straight to the final destination, bypassing any unnecessary steps along the way.
Once installed, Universal Bypass works automatically in the background without any configuration needed. As users click links in web pages or search engine results, the extension examines the full redirect path and jumps past any intermediary pages straight to the real endpoint. This provides a faster, smoother browsing experience.
In addition to convenience and time savings, Universal Bypass also helps protect privacy by skipping pages whose sole purpose is click-tracking, analytics or ads. By automatically bypassing pages that collect user data, the extension limits exposure of users' browsing activities and interests.
Universal Bypass is completely free and open source software, developed as a community project to benefit all internet users. It works across most major websites and handles even complex multi-step redirects reliably. The extension continues to expand its bypassing capabilities through ongoing updates as new annoying redirect schemas emerge on the web.
