URL Auto Redirector

Clicking the browser's back button instead reloads the page and sometimes breaks history navigation or deletes history entries in the tab.
I wish there was a simpler explanation of setting the source and destination for non-programmers. (I'm a programmer in other languages, and struggled to sort this out.)
Works well for disabling YouTube's annoying Shorts interface:
source:^https?://www.youtube.com/shorts/(.*)
destination:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1

Would be good, but... When I open link in new tab (Ctrl + Click), redirection happens in current tab.
When I choose in options "redirect in new tab", when I open link in new tab - 2 tabs are opened - one with normal URL, one with redirected. So it is useless :(

very clean and functional extension. there is one big IF still:
i try to redirect a URL internally from instagram.com/profilename/ to https://bibliogram.pussthecat.org/u/profilename/ via (.*) - /u/$1
which normally should work fine but since the extension allows for the external site to first change the URL to the instagram login page i always end up with https://bibliogram.pussthecat.org/u/accounts/login/ instead.
the external server should not be able to interfere before the extension redirects!
