Unshorten.it is a Firefox add-on that helps users identify the actual location of shortened URLs by leveraging unshorten.com. With this add-on, users can quickly check whether a link is safe to click or not.
I recently had the opportunity to check out a really cool browser extension, the Unshorten add-on, and I have to say, it's a game-changer. This extension does something really valuable: it checks the real location of short URLs.
Here's how it works: once you've installed the add-on, you'll be able to move your cursor over any short URL and view the real location of the website in a tooltip and in the status bar. This is an incredibly helpful feature for anyone who is concerned about clicking on potentially malicious links or just wants to know where a link is going to take them before they click on it.
The Unshorten add-on utilizes Unshorten.com to provide real-time information about the true location of short URLs. With this extension, you'll be able to easily see the real location of a short URL such as tinyurl.com/554p8h in your browser.
It's worth noting that in order to see the real location of your URL you have to move the cursor over a short URL, but this is a small inconvenience that is more than worth it for the added peace of mind and security that the Unshorten add-on provides.
Additionally, the Unshorten add-on is cross-platform and works on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, so no matter what operating system you're using, you'll be able to take advantage of this awesome tool. Overall, I highly recommend the Unshorten add-on to anyone who wants to stay safe while browsing the web.
