Very easy to use, just right click on a shortened link and select 'View Expanded URL', this will then open a new tab and show you where the expanded link will take you. Will also show you more information of the destination link, so that you can determine if that is the link that you would like to visit. Another advantage to this extension, you can also check to see if a regular link will redirect you to a completely different link. This extension works with the majority of shortened URLs.

User Reviews

I don't have the expand option in the right-click menu. I'm running 142.0 (64-bit). Is it possible to resolve this issue?

Is Expand URL Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Expand URL requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Expand URL is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
