Steam's starting to filter links server-side, so I've made a userscript to fix that

From what I've seen, not everyone has been hit with steam's link filter for links from steam chat (may be a beta client only thing at the moment), although it's safe to assume this will be rolling out completely at some point. I know it's to cut don't on fishing and user's who suffer from PEBKAC, but I don't fall under that category, so there's no need for steam to be inconveniencing me. With that said, I made a userscript that simply redirects the page to whatever link was filtered. 

Kinda sad Steam doesn't offer an option under the settings to disable this. This shouldn't be an issue in the first place.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Me and my girlfriend use Steam chat constantly sending links to each other, so the link filter was getting incredibly annoying, we're normally LDR, but have been together for the past few months, and we were really dreading dealing with this BS when we were apart again. You've saved us a lot of frustration.

I was thinking about making this myself, but lacked the programming skills (Don't know how to do RegEx's in JS...)

I've been looking high and low for something like this. Do you intend to package it up as a Chrome extension? If not, do you mind if I do, (credit will be given) for convenience?
