Further improve proposed pattern for Redirector
This patch further improves the proposed pattern for the Redirector extension. In contrast to the old pattern, … * … it will redirect the URL https://medium.com. * … it will *not* redirect URLs with top-level domains like mediumXcom. (This point is purely theoretical, but it makes the regular expression more correct and consistent.) * … it will *not* redirect URLs like https://link.medium.com/AXEtCilplkb which Scribe currently cannot handle. These are shortened URLs that users get when they use the Twitter button on Medium to share a post. In order to implement the last point (not matching link.medium.com), the pattern uses negative lookbehind. This feature of regular expressions is supported by all recent browsers for which Redirector is available (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera)[^1], including the current version of Firefox ESR (Extended Stability Release).
