I use the term “Reddit” when I search for things a lot so I can get human responses to my questions but Reddit blocks VPN connections. Old reddit works though. All you need to do is change www. to old. I know extensions exist for it but I don’t really want to install one for this and I no longer have an account on Reddit to set it in my preferences.

Edit: I think @chagall@lemmy.world gave me what I was looking for with REDIRECTOR. It’s open source and has a privacy policy of not using analytics. It’s an extension but it seems pretty reputable with a decent community.

    This looks like what I’ve been looking for.

    Is it really as simple as doing this?

      Most of the time, yes. Options are basically wildcard and regex.

      If you run into any problems, pm me. Happy to help.
