X.com (Twitter) links don't redirect

[Taizunz]

Chrome 142.0.7444.164 / LibRedirect 3.2.0
Visiting an x.com URL does not redirect to my selected frontend alternative.
If I manually change the address to use twitter.com, it succesfully redirects to my selected frontend alternative.

That's odd. I get redirected with x.com

I have the same issue on Firefox.

Is it still the same, it works fine for me. I tested in Firefox and Firefox ESR editions.

Yes, issue persists for me in Chrome, with all other extensions disabled.
Chrome has since updated to 143.0.7499.170.

If possible, would you check other chrome based browser such as Brave and Vivaldi too ? Cuz, it works fine for me both in Brave & Firefox Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) secure email.

A quick test later in Vivaldi using an import of my libredirect settings from Chrome: Didn't initially work. I had "twimg.com" disabled in my settings import, so I tried enabling it. That made the redirect work in Vivaldi.

After this I then did a quick settings reset in Libredirect in Chrome, then imported my settings again, and toggled the "twimg.com" setting to ensure I repeated the same process I had done in Vivaldi, but that didn't make a difference. Chrome still will not redirect from x.com to any chosen service.

I think I have discovered the culprit: I did a quick incognito test in Chrome, and that seemed to work.

So I tried logging out of my Twitter account. After this step, redirects started working again.
Logged back into my Twitter account, redirects stopped working.
So something about being logged into an account is preventing Libredirect from redirecting.

I think this has happened before. We closed it in a very old issue, need to check it why it happened. If you could rename the issue as appropriate since you found the culprit. Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) secure email.

Does it with other extensions like uBlock Origin?

Does it redirect on x.com without anything after it?
