This was a very useful extension, but the service is now down. Check the ‘related’ tab for alternatives.

Only tested on a handful of short URLs so far. Works as expected and does not make any network requests. It does seem strangely slow to reveal a link, though.

Does exactly what it is supposed to, brilliant!
