Predirect extension for redirecting to alternative frontends about beatbump HOT 5 OPEN

I just found out about your project, and I'm wondering if Predirect exposes any information to the main domain (ex: iP address or loading any JavaScript) before redirecting the user to the site's frontend?

@davidcollini No it doesn't expose IP as declarativeNetRequest rules modify network requests before they make any connection and even dns request to original url.

@ManeraKai what are your thoughts on Predirect's approach to redirecting sites on V3? I know you have an explanation for why Libredirect isn't on v3 here, but I'm wondering what specifically prevents you from doing so

We have osm redirection for example. When you're redirecting an address value from google maps, we need to make a request to nomination.openstreetmap.org and get a response back of lat and lon. We add them to the url and then redirect. Is this possible with your approach?

@ManeraKai I am not familiar with OSM redirection, perhaps you can tell multiple approaches and api you use to redirect Google maps to OSM. But it should be possible with manifest V3 webrequest api as long as blocking is not needed.
