George Yves [reports via AMO](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/requestpolicy/reviews/331731/):

> It is impossible to use [Dr.Web LinkChecker](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/drweb-anti-virus-link-checker/?src=ss) simultaneously with RequestPolicy. I tried to run Dr.Web LinkChecker on sites where all redirections are allowed: the checker opens its pop-up and starts endless "checking". As I understand it tries to connect with Dr.Web's databases but RequestPolicy doesn't allow this. And only when I choose the option "Temporally allow all redirections", the checker gets the chance and finishes its work. I think it is very strange that I have to allow something on sites where everything are already allowed.

> I understand that RequestPolicy must block redirections but I would like to ask to make exceptions for Dr.Web Linkchecker. This add-on is a sort of pro-active defence and I think it should be allowed everywhere and every time.
