Im looking for a way to open an edited URL when I click on a certain link on a certain page, using userscript.

But I want to be discreet, so without

Im not quite sure if @run-at document-start is fast enough to detect and redirect url before accessing the original url. I feel not.

Can anyone point me to the right direction? is it even possible?

1. If your script is running at `document-start` (thus as fast as possible), then it may run before the anchor element exists. 2. Add a `click` event listener and use `event.preventDefault()`. – double-beep Jan 14 '23 at 19:04
Since im not entirely sure how fast `document-star` is, `event.preventDefault()` seems better and its also exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! – user3315073 Jan 15 '23 at 08:58
