Furthermore, it's open-source so everyone can independently review its source code.
Also known in the options as "Give and take the destinations of unbypassable shorteners.", this feature exists to bypass a respectable amount of link shorteners using CAPTCHAs and other forms of backend validation to make sure you've actually waited before you can proceed to the target link, to share this target with other Universal Bypass users, who come across the same link in the future, so they can proceed to the target immediately.

For other browsers, the defininitions are auto-updated so Universal Bypass can update just as fast as the websites it bypasses, as extension updates generally take a lot longer. If you are concerned about how your privacy is impacted by auto-updating, feel free to read Universal Bypass' Privacy Policy.

We're always happy to add new bypasses to Universal Bypass, so if you happen to encounter a website that isn't bypassed yet, please open an issue on Github or send me an email, and we'll try our best to bypass it!
Feel free to open an issue on Github or send me an email.
