FastForward

Don't waste your time with compliance. FastForward circumvents annoying link shorteners.

FastForward - Bypass Annoying Link Shorteners

FastForward is a revolutionary Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by circumventing sites that make you wait, perform actions, or track your IP. From ad laden sites, content unlockers, to trackers, this extension aids in ensuring an efficient, seamless online browsing experience. It's important to note that FastForward does not bypass paywalls and upholds user privacy by storing only hashed versions of your public IP when using the 'Crowd Bypass' option.
