Can redirect messages be used as in RequestPolicy

[flyingzebras]

RequestPolicy 0.5.28 asks if both popups and redirects should be visited (a feature that has been withdrawn in RequestPolicy Continued starting with version 1.0). This is useful to debug popups as they often are redirected.

@astcraft try reading again.

This is actually a feature of Firefox itself.

Options -> Advanced -> General -> Accessibility -> Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload a page

@nyuszika7h Even with that setting turned on a visit to https://youtu.be/btUXT9p1fUQ does not give me a warning and goes ahead and redirects to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btUXT9p1fUQfeature=youtu.be with RequestPolicy this doesn't happen.

@vzjrz I experienced the same thing with other sites too regarding the Firefox setting. The add-on NoRedirect is also useful.
