I've used this before, but the biggest missing feature is a compendium of built-in common fixes, like removing the &si= tracker junk off of youtube links, and so on...

If you have uBlock Origin installed you can enable URL tracking protection filter list or write your own filters `$removeparam=<tracker param>`.

This is the "God-like powers" extension. The "set it and forget it" extension is called ClearURLs.

There's also Request Control, which is probably what you're looking for. More powerful than Redirector actually, but it comes with some common rules built in (not as comprehensive as ClearURLs though).
