Why does YouTube show a redirect notice?

All links placed in YouTube video descriptions, community posts, and comments are routed through `youtube.com/redirect?q=...`. This allows YouTube to track click analytics and disclaim liability. However, users are often stopped by an interstitial that requires manual confirmation.

How Unredirect handles this in Safari

Unredirect inspects `youtube.com/redirect` queries directly inside Safari. It decodes the target URL from the `q` parameter and redirects your active tab directly to the intended destination without pinging any third-party analytics.

Example Interstitial URL
https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSwift
Direct Target
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift

100% On-Device & Private

No proxy servers, no URL tracking, and no browsing telemetry. The redirect pattern is parsed right inside Safari on your Apple device.

FAQ

Will Unredirect remove YouTube video parameters like timestamps (&t=) or playlists?

No. Unredirect only resolves redirect wrapper pages (such as `/redirect?q=...`). It does not modify, strip, or break functional video query parameters like `v`, `t`, or `list` on normal YouTube watch URLs.
