FastForward

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

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

FastForward circumvents sites which make you wait (like adf.ly), make you do something (e.g., show.co and sub2unlock.com) and even trackers (such as bit.ly and t.co)! It also helps to prevent your IP address from being logged by sites by blocking them.

It Does Not Bypass Paywalls!

Privacy note: When you have the "Crowd Bypass" option enabled, we record some links of link shortners that you visit to allow other uses to bypass them faster. This also collects a hashed version of your public IP address. See our privacy policy for more details. https://fastforward.team/privacy
