Silly Redirect for Zoom Meetings

Summary

A web extension that redirects zoom meetings to the web client version.

Description

"Silly Redirect for Zoom Meetings" is a web extension designed to simplify the process of redirecting Zoom meeting links to the web client version. By replacing a portion of the URL with /wc/join/, the extension automatically loads the meeting joining page in the web client. For instance, a link like https://zoom.us/j/0123456789 would be converted to https://zoom.us/wc/join/0123456789. This approach is aimed at leveraging the security features of web browsers and providing a seamless experience for joining Zoom meetings via the web browser. The extension also offers a toggle for easy enable/disable functionality and does not collect any user data, ensuring privacy and security.
