Funciona perfectamente y no puede ser más sencilla. Simplemente das click derecho sobre el enlace acortado que te interese y pulsas sobre el botón «Expand Shortened URLs». La extensión ha traducido la URL acortada por la original y se puede acceder directamente pinchando en el enlace.

Is Short URL Expander Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Short URL Expander requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
