## Description

Extremely simple extension that allows you to bypass URL shorteners with a context-menu item when possible, without making any request to a third-party service. Therefore it cannot bypass links when the real link is not already written somewhere on the same page.

Currently supported links:
- <a rel="nofollow" href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/188484b19de4cdc52223697025c19972aea51e8f306496a87000b37d1b011522/http%3A//t.co">t.co</a> (Tested on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/8caa65a28fd89880b982fb5d6f98ed0502d379b2f8f66059ab621c45b6a21d14/https%3A//tweetdeck.twitter.com/">https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/</a>)
- If you know a shortener which is compatible, I'll happily add it!
