FastForward - Bypass Annoying Link Shorteners
Extension stats
Extension summary
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
