About this extension

r/Redirect (r-slash-redirect) redirects searches for a subreddit to the respective subreddit on Reddit. For example, a search for r/memes will be redirected to the subreddit instead of search results.

Override searches for r/… in popular search engines to redirect immediately to the respective subreddit.
Registers a search keyword, so that when you enter r/, you search with the r/Redirect add-on which takes you to the respective subreddit.

LibRedirect

This add-on pairs well with LibRedirect. If you install LibRedirect and enable Reddit redirection, you'll be redirected to your preferred privacy-friendly Reddit frontend, like Redlib.

Alternatives

You can instead use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine. DuckDuckGo features Bangs which can achieve a similar result, no add-on required.

Set DuckDuckGo as your default search engine.
In the URL bar or DuckDuckGo search page, use the sr bang, short for subreddit. Searches like !sr … will perform the same behavior as this add-on.
