Latest Bootstrap Documentation Redirect

Note
I have written an article about the motivation of this extension: «How to always and automatically redirect to the latest Bootstrap documentation».

Chromium browser extension to redirect all your request to Bootstrap documentation of versions lower than v5.1 to the docs of Bootstrap v5.1.

For example if you just ended on the documentation pages of Bootstrap v4.0, you will always be redirected to the documentation of Bootstrap v5.1.

Chrome Web Store

Permission justifications

webRequest justification

webRequest is needed to check if the requested URL is requestig an outdated Bootstrap documentation page, to be able to redirect those requests.

webRequestBlocking justification

webRequestBlocking is needed to make the request synchronous to be able to redirect it.

Host permission justification

://getbootstrap.com/docs/

Is needed, as this is the documentation host of Bootstrap. Traffic to old documentations will be redirect to new ones.
