"SCRIPT" type request ignored

Expected behavior

a script that modifies href gets caught by redirect rule with “ANY” or “SCRIPT” request type

Actual behavior

rule is ignored

Steps to reproduce the problem

• visit www.youtube.com (either main or any other page, doesn’t matter)
• click on any channel’s name
• see the rule being ignored
• press F5 (or use any other method to reload the url)
• see the rule being applied

Pictue below shows the rule I’m using. Basically, it’s a redirection from channel’s main page to channel/videos. It does work after typing the url in address bar, but doesn’t when I click “urls” (that are actually scripts, not links; at least one of the events is called yt-navigate) on the youtube itself.

Here’s the regex url pattern from the screenshot: /https://www\.youtube\.com/(channel|user)\/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\/?$/ and the redirection target: https://www.youtube.com{pathname/\/$/}/videos

You can ignore path patterns and check “any url” when testing - it’s probably slower but works exactly the same.

@wjtk4444 I had to update the rules to make the redirection work again. As with the previous version of the extension, middle clicks on channel links work better than normal links:
