NoWait

How it works

NoWait automatically bypasses link shorteners, "link-lockers" and artificial waiting pages — Linkvertise, ouo.io, adf.ly and 90+ other sites — so you land directly on the final destination, with no captchas, timers or interstitial ads. It is a maintained fork of FastForward (public domain), with one key difference: the content script only runs on domains with a registered bypass, not on every page you visit.

  1. 1

    Detects the link

    The content script checks whether the domain has a registered bypass before doing anything.

  2. 2

    Resolves the bypass

    It runs that shortener’s dedicated module, without ever loading its intermediate page.

  3. 3

    You land on the destination

    You get redirected straight to the final URL — no captchas, ads or timers.

NoWait

What it includes

  • 90+ site-specific bypasses

    Each shortener has its own waiting or captcha mechanism, resolved with a dedicated bypass: Linkvertise, ouo.io, adf.ly, sh.st, work.ink and many more.

  • IP logger blocking

    If a link cannot be bypassed and also logs your IP address, NoWait blocks it instead of letting you navigate there.

  • Link tracker evasion

    bit.ly, t.co, goo.gl and similar are resolved without ever loading the intermediate page.

  • Crowd bypass (optional, off by default)

    For shorteners without an automatic bypass yet, it looks up and shares destinations already discovered by the FastForward community.

  • Configurable whitelist

    Exclude your own domains by wildcard so NoWait never acts on them.

  • Native Manifest V3 on both browsers

    Independent build for Chrome/Chromium and Firefox, each with its own manifest — not a generic package retrofitted after the fact.

Privacy and security

Privacy and security

NoWait does not collect personally identifiable information. All processing of the URL being bypassed happens locally in your browser.

  • The destination URL never leaves your device through the main bypass mechanism.

  • The only telemetry sent (to a first-party server) is the domain of the bypassed shortener and which bypass module ran — never the full destination URL, its path or its parameters.

  • Crowd bypass is optional and off by default; when enabled, it uses the FastForward community service under its own privacy policy.

  • Bypass definitions are bundled at extension build time: there is no live definitions download.

Permissions and why they are requested

storage Stores your preferences locally (whitelist, crowd bypass toggle) — never synced to third parties.
tabs Detects and redirects the active tab to the final destination once the bypass is resolved.
declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess Applies IP logger blocking and tracker evasion rules without manually intercepting every request.
host_permissions: <all_urls> IP logger and tracker blocking must be able to apply on any site; the content script that runs bypasses only injects on domains with a registered bypass.
