Easily Unshorten any Url!
Link Unshortener - Unravel Short URLs Instantly
Link Unshortener is a Chrome addition that works silently in the background, identifying and unshortening any short URLs you visit. It allows you to view the destination URL prior to visiting, adds domains to whitelist to be ignored, and provides a screenshot preview alongside a full redirect trace for URLs that redirect multiple times.

n ascentt, 2024-12-02This extention thinks that Instagram website is a short link and redirect it. More of that: extention make an infinite loop of redirection for Instagram and you will never get on site.

Dmitrii, 2024-05-22Sadly every link you type in the search bar brings you to their website first (even if it's not a shortened url), which is very annoying especially if you have slow internet connection...
