Extension summary
This is a very simple "short URL expander". If you see a shortened/suspicious URL, you can right click it and "expand" it to see where the link would take you.
This uses "http://expandurl.com/" and will NOT open the shortened link, only a new tab showing the links redirects. All the hard work was done by "Gregg Hilferding". I just wanted a right click expander and nobody had made a working one.
Provided expandurl doesn't shut down, this should work just fine on most versions of chrome.
Limited to 100 "expands" per hour.
