About URL Switcher

URL Switcher is a lightweight Chrome extension that automatically ormanually transforms URLs based on custom rules — built for power users who want their own URL "redirect" pairs (e.g. arxiv → alphaxiv, GitHub → GitLab, X → Nitter). KEY FEATURES • Define redirect rules using regular expressions + template replacement • Built-in arxiv → alphaxiv rule out of the box • One-click "Back to source" button (won't trigger redirect loops) • Master switch to disable all auto-redirects (manual button still works) • Add, edit, or remove rules through a clean visual UI • Rules sync across devices via chrome.storage.sync USE CASES • Open arXiv papers on AlphaXiv to read comments and discussion • Switch between GitHub and its mirrors • View X / Twitter via mirrors like Nitter or xcancel • Watch YouTube via Invidious mirrors • Any "I'm on site A but want to be on site B" workflow PRIVACY URL Switcher does not collect, store, or transmit any user data. All rules live locally in your browser's chrome.storage.sync. The content script only activates on domains matching your enabled rules. URL Switcher 是一款按规则自动/手动转换 URL 的轻量级 Chrome 扩展。 【核心功能】 • 按自定义正则规则把当前 URL 转换成另一个(默认内置 arxiv → alphaxiv) • 弹窗手动"转回原文"按钮(带防循环标记,落地后停留) • 自动转换一键开关,关闭后只能手动触发 • 规则可视化添加 / 删除 / 修改 • 规则通过 chrome.storage.sync 跨设备同步 【适用场景】 • 把 arXiv 论文页转去 AlphaXiv 看评论与社交讨论 • 把 GitHub 仓库转去镜像站 • 把 X / Twitter 转去 Nitter、xcancel 等镜像 • 把 YouTube 转去 Invidious • 任何"我在 A 网站但想去 B 网站看"的自定义需求 【隐私声明】 本扩展不会收集、存储或传输任何用户数据。 所有规则仅保存在用户本地的 chrome.storage.sync 中。 content_scripts 仅在用户启用的规则所匹配的域名上注入。
