For all you shortened URLs haters on Twitter or TweetDeck

Replaces all shortened URLs with real URLs without UTM to save precious seconds and finally know where we click without being tracked.

Twitter redirects every URLs to t.co in order to track clicks, OK cool, why not, but it makes us waste some precious seconds of our life everytime we click on a link on Twitter. To counter that, this extension removes all links with a t.co redirect with their real URLs, and also display the full address on the tweet because who gives a f. to the 140 chars limit on Tweeter?
