BikeForums.net DeArchiver

When searching for bicycle related information one often ends up at BikeForums.net. However one also typically ends up on an archived page such as this one. This extension automatically redirects you from the archive page to the full forum thread (this page for the prior example). This is a Google Chrome extension.

Q&A

Q: Why not simply redirect from the search result directly to the thread bypassing the archive page?

A: The extension only has permissions to www.bikeforums.net/archive/*. Having it do this would require permissions to multiple search engines plus additional support if the links to the archive content are not direct.

Q: Does the back button still work?

A: Yes, the back button still works.

Q: Does it show anything in the user interface?

A: No, this functionality is simple enough that there are no icons to clutter up the user interface as there is nothing to configure.
