Removes link tracking and redirection from facebook results

What is Undirect?

"Undirect" is a Chrome extension designed to improve your online search experience by bypassing redirection and link tracking on Facebook. This handy tool converts massive redirect urls to simple ones, making your searches quicker and more efficient. Moreover, your browsing activity remains yours alone - no unwanted eyes tracking your clicks. It supports both HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Google support has been removed due to its link tracking updates. Visit the project on GitHub for more information.

Summary

Analyze keywords

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.

Works flawlessly. And (sigh) kudos to Google for not blocking an extension that modifies the behavior of one of their services. (Are we in a world now where we expect that by default?)
