Find Out What's Behind Those Shortened Links

[sreeparna]

Hi,I have found out an article on a nice little extension "Long URL Please" which could solve the problem of shortened url.You dont have to be scared anymore before clicking on a shortened link.
This extension can transferred the shortened link into the real url.

Please read more on this Article

I have installed it in firefox and it works like a charm.

The rule still stands, however. Even with a tool like this, we'd rather have a longer link thanks.

Yah ,of course I know that and I didnt share it to alter any rule.I just felt it was an useful extension to have.becoz not only here ,shortened url is used a lot of other places too.I thought it can be helpful.So I shared it.

Fair enough, I'm just explaining that before anyone else might suggest a revoke of that rule

+1 on Hellnoire, rather long links then short URLs

Thanks a lot sreeparna. I have used that bookmarklet feature. Better than an addon and can also be used on other browser.
