How to prevent following redirects to other domains?

I see there is a way to prevent this once page loads with something like this:

    await page.setRequestInterception(true);

    page.on('request', async (request) => {
      if (ok) {
        await request.continue();
      } else {
        await request.abort();
      }
    }

    await page.setRequestInterception(true);

    page.on('request', async (request) => {
      if (ok) {
        await request.continue();
      } else {
        await request.abort();
      }
    }

But how about when I have a url in queue, is there a nice way to have the request interception setup in the crawler options instead and have it defined globally?

I guess I'm looking for something like a global beforeNavigation callback. Yay, it's preNavigationHooks, I wasn't able to find it in the API docs though. Found it here in fulltext and then used github all code search for examples.

Yes, you need to put this to the prenavigationHooks, did this solve your issue? 🙂

Yep I got it working, although I didn't end up blocking them in the end.
