Url Redir by Userscript
Posted on Sun 24 February 2019 in coding
One day ...
When clicking on links within Evernote, there's a redir page for outbound confirmation, which is kinda nuisance.
The countermeasure
Use a userscript to skip the redir page:
// ==UserScript==
// @name skip Evernote outbound redir
// @namespace no
// @version 0.1
// @description auto-skip the redir page when clicking a link in Evernote
// @author nobody
// @match https://www.evernote.com/OutboundRedirect.action?dest=*
// @grant none
// @run-at document-start
// ==/UserScript==
window.location = decodeURIComponent(window.location.href.replace(
'https://www.evernote.com/OutboundRedirect.action?dest=', ''));
Install it in a userscript engine (Tamermonkey, Violentmonkey, Greasemonkey).
Sidenote
The real url, at the end of Evernote's redir url, is percent-encoded.
In js, the decoding function is decodeURIComponent.
In Python3, btw, it's:
from urllib import parse
parse.unquote('https%3A%2F%2Flala.im%2F2960.html')
and of course, there's the inverse function, to encode/quote urls.
Another url redir example
Play youtube videos without Google's trackers.
// ==UserScript==
// @name YouTube No Tracker
// @namespace no
// @description play youtube videos without trackers
// @match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=*
// @version 0.1
// @grant none
// @run-at document-start
// ==/UserScript==
var vid = /watch\?v=(\w+)/.exec(window.location.href)[1];
window.location = 'https://cadence.gq/cloudtube/video/' + vid;
