Features & Capabilities

Twitter Link Deobfuscator is a Chrome extension designed to reveal the original destinations of links concealed behind Twitter's shortened URLs (t.co). This tool automatically replaces shortened links and Twitter Cards with their original URLs in tweets, replies, Direct Messages, and user profile "Website" fields. It activates only when browsing twitter.com or mobile.twitter.com, ensuring your browsing elsewhere remains unaffected.

The extension increases link visibility by showing the true URL destinations over Twitter's obfuscated links, enhancing transparency and user trust. It supports multiple languages including English, Romanian, French, and German, adapting automatically based on your browser settings. Users can enable or disable the extension directly from the browser toolbar. Ideal for those who want to avoid ambiguous link redirections and see exactly where Twitter links lead, this extension is a simple yet powerful privacy and convenience tool.

Worked well for years. It seems it stopped working when Twitter became X.

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
