Short description
Removes link tracking and redirection from facebook results View and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides
Full summary

UPDATE: Removed Google support as they changed their tracking to no longer use redirects - thus making this extension pointless for it. see https://github.com/xwipeoutx/undirect/issues/13 for more info.

Have you ever tried to copy a url from Facebook search and got a massive redirect url instead? Do you want them to know exactly what search results you're clicking? Have you seen your browser stuck at a redirect page, instead of going straight where you want to?

Undirect can fix these things! Links on Facebook search results will no longer do any redirecting - go straight to the site you want, first time!

Supports both HTTP and HTTPS.

View and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files -- without needing Office installed on your computer.

Once the extension is installed, Office files that you drag into Chrome, open in Gmail, Google Drive, and more, will be opened in Docs, Sheets, and Slides for viewing and editing.

You can save each file back to its original Office format, or convert it to Docs, Sheets, or Slides to unlock more features, like inviting others to edit with you, commenting, chat, and more.

Please note that Office files cannot be edited in the classic version of Drive. The new Google Drive is gradually rolling out to all users via the Settings menu. If you don't see the option to try the new look, check back again shortly. Learn more here: https://support.google.com/drive/?p=new_drive.
