Extension summary

I hate Linkis - it screws up URL's in tweets and makes it hard to break out. This plug in ( mainly taken from http://superuser.com/questions/284110/redirect-urls-in-chrome ) will automatically redirect to the original source page once the linkis version has loaded.

v0.7 Previous fix broke YouTube link processing, now that works as well!

v0.6 Fixed an occasional looping problem if original link not found. Now will look harder and not loop if not found.

v0.5 Handles more links better(!)

v0.4 Handles YouTube links

Works well. No need to give app permissions on Twitter just to follow a link in a tweet.
