Having to update my review as unfortunately the Twitter redirects (basically all I need this for) have all but stopped working. vampire.xyz is a for sale domain, nitter seems to have an issue with it's security certificate and cannot be bypassed by Edge and quite often get tweet or page not found. Shame, great concept.

Significantly less useful now that Nitter has shut down. It's not exactly the extension's fault but the primary redirect will no longer load.
