The extension is no longer available on Chrome. So, I am looking for a way to automatically redirect x.com to xcancel.com


Just write a simple user script with Tamper/Greasemonkey. You can even paste it into ChatGPT and it will give you one.



This is also a MV2 extension and therefore also not available on Chrome.


Not sure what search you're using, but Googling `xcancel redirect` gave me plenty on the first page. You could be stuck in a search bubble. Maybe try searching in private browsing mode?

This one is manifest v3: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/xcancelcom-redirect...

This userscript (despite the name) also redirects to xcancel: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/450008-twitter-to-nitter-r...



Chrome has disabled support for MV2 extensions (unless you set an enterprise policy) and is entirely removing support for MV2 extensions in v139: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate...

It releases in August.


You're welcome to quit using spyware as your primary browser if you're dissatisfied with the spyware's treatment of your rights as a user.

If you choose not to, you should probably cede the right to complain about problems solved with MV2 extensions, since those problems are now self-inflicted.


Hope those Google guys fix it! Would be bad not having half of the appeal of the browser.


Ok.


For this specific case there's a "Nitter Redirect" extension
