## Description

Link Revealer is a Firefox add-on designed to improve your online security by displaying the true URL for all links.

The add-on also allows you to scan links for threats using the virustotal JavaScript API. Activate the API in the options page and conveniently scan up to 4 links per minute. With Link Revealer, you can enhance your security while browsing the web.
