Mason Kuan 2020-11-23 Perfect extension, just needs some updating. I might make a pull request on github sometime. This extension is different from the others on how it gets the destination url, it catches the redirect and shows you a preview of the actual url before navigating there.
enam ym 2015-05-08 No longer functional
Jordan W 2014-01-13 this is absolutely perfect if you receive such links from irc, game clients, and instant message clients
Rob Warner 2013-11-20 Really useful, helps filter out spam/fake links when shortened.
Oliver Hafner 2013-11-18 Awesome App, Must have!!!!
