About Reader Redirect
# Reader Redirect
Reader Redirect is specially designed for Medium.com articles and Medium-hosted publications. It provides a quick and simple way to open articles through your preferred reader service.
Simply right-click an article link or the page you are currently reading, select Reader Redirect, and choose a configured reader service. The reader version opens in a new tab while your original page remains unchanged.
### How It Works
1. Right-click a Medium article link or the current webpage.
2. Select Reader Redirect.
3. Choose your preferred reader service.
4. The article opens in a new tab through the selected service.
### Key Features
- Built for Medium — Designed specifically for Medium.com articles and Medium-hosted publications.
- One-click access — Open an article through a reader service directly from the right-click menu.
- Multiple reader services — Add and manage multiple reader services in one place.
- Fully configurable — Define your own reader URL using a simple {url} template.
- Custom domains — Supports Medium publications hosted on custom domains.
- New-tab experience — Opens the reader version in a new tab without replacing your current page.
- Smart domain detection — Choose which domains should display the Reader Redirect menu.
- Privacy-focused — No account, tracking, analytics, or telemetry.
- Minimal permissions — Uses only the permissions needed for the context menu and extension settings.
- Open source — The complete source code is publicly available.
### Privacy & Security
Reader Redirect does not host, copy, scrape, or modify article content. It only takes the original article URL, applies your configured reader-service URL template, and opens the resulting URL in a new tab.
The extension does not require an account and does not collect analytics, telemetry, or browsing data.
Reader Redirect is open source and designed to provide a simple, lightweight, and privacy-focused reading workflow for Medium articles.
