In loving memory of Einar Egilsson, who gave us Redirector and selflessly nurtured it for many years. We miss you Einar, and will always remember your kindness and generosity.

If you are a Firefox user and use a dark theme, you can add these lines to your userChrome.css file to make Redirector's extension button more visible:

/* Redirector button for dark Firefox themes */
toolbarbutton#toggle-button--redirectoreinaregilssoncom-redirector[image*="active"] { filter: invert(1) brightness(6); }
toolbarbutton#toggle-button--redirectoreinaregilssoncom-redirector[image*="disabled"] { filter: invert(1) brightness(2.5); }

If you don't know what the userChrome.css file is, or how to edit it, please look it up on a Firefox forum instead of asking about it in this repository. Thanks!
