  1. Is there a way to redirect a specific website URL without a browser extension in Windows 10?


    Is there a way to redirect a specific website URL without a browser extension in Windows 10?

    For example, if somebody on my Windows 10 computer goes to https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4 then I want them to be automatically redirected to https://www.reddit.com/r/math/

    How can I do this without a browser extension? Is there any free software (that isn't a browser extension, unless it can be hidden in Chrome completley)?

  2. Redirecting website

    Hi Pancho,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand your inconvenience. Don’t worry. We will assist to resolve this issue.

    It can be extremely frustrating if you are trying to visit a Web page but are automatically redirected to another. This tactic is sometimes used to as a way to direct your attention to an advertisement. Other times, a hacker may be trying to install
    spyware or malware on your computer.

    It seems that your computer is infected by virus and malware. I would suggest you to run Full Virus Scan using
    Windows Defender.

    Also if you are using Internet Explorer, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.



    Step 1: Open the Internet Explorer browser and click on the "Tools" menu at the top of the page.



    Step 2: Click on "Internet Options," then click the "Security" tab. In the "Security Level for this Zone" box, use the slider to set the security to "High." This stops Internet Explorer from using ActiveX, preventing Web
    pages from redirecting you to others. Although this stops the redirecting action, legitimate websites may not load properly, or at all. Some functions on websites become disabled, such as links to other websites, video or PDF files. This method is extreme,
    but it stops redirects while you scan the computer for viruses.



    Step 3: Click on "Trusted Sites." Add any websites that you go to frequently and that you trust. These websites will behave as normal, without restrictions.



    Step 4: Run anti-spyware or anti-malware software on your computer (see Resources). Redirects are often causes by a virus, which software can find and eliminate. If any viruses are found and deleted, this is likely to
    end the redirects you are experiencing.



    Step 5: Go back to the "Internet Options" window, and set the security slider back to its initial position. If the anti-spyware program eliminated the source of the redirects, your browser now behaves normally.



    Try the above step and let us know if it helps. For further assistance feel free to post your queries in Microsoft forums. We will be glad to assist you.



    Thank You.

    Is there a way to redirect a specific website URL without a browser extension in Windows 10?

    New Zoom extension for windows 10

    Hi Dolores,

    To better understand the concern, we would like to ask for additional information:

    • Where did you download or purchase the extension?
    • What steps or information were you trying to do with it?
    • Was the extension indicated that it will only run on a specific browser?

    We look forward to your response.
