Can Skip Redirect be considered redundant if you have uBlock? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have read that depending on the filters you have in uBlock, extensions like Skip Redirect are redundant, how true is this? And in theory, which filters should I activate for uBlock to perform the Skip Redirect function?

Personally, I'm not a Skip Redirect user, but this comment that I have read on multiple occasions makes me curious and depending on what people tell me here I may try it.

Can uBlock also skip redirects? The whole time I'm using it, it doesn't skip them at all. I use FastForward to skip redirects and it's been working really well.

I didn't know FastForward but it looks great, in fact Skip Redirect didn't work on many sites. And I do not know, it is a comment that I have read a lot but I have never been able to confirm, I only know that at least in my case sometimes the counters of some pages go down to 0 suddenly but I do not know if it is because of uBlock.
