Can Skip Redirect be considered redundant if you have uBlock? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have read that depending on the filters you have in uBlock, extensions like Skip Redirect are redundant, how true is this? And in theory, which filters should I activate for uBlock to perform the Skip Redirect function?

Personally, I'm not a Skip Redirect user, but this comment that I have read on multiple occasions makes me curious and depending on what people tell me here I may try it.

I didn’t know FastForward but it looks great, in fact Skip Redirect didn’t work on many sites.

I've been using FastForward for months and every single time it successfully skips redirects. Though the addon is not on Firefox for now due to some miscommunications. You'd have to install it manually here. But if you're using Chrome or Edge, you can install it directly from the store.

I have been using it since I read your comment and it is absolutely great, not only because of piracy, but also because of the links attached to some Youtube channels.
