About

Expand URL is an extension that will show you the final destination of a shortened link.
Very easy to use, just right click on a shortened link and select 'View Expanded URL', this will then open a new tab and show you where the expanded link will take you. Will also show you more information of the destination link, so that you can determine if that is the link that you would like to visit.
Another advantage to this extension, you can also check to see if a regular link will redirect you to a completely different link.
This extension works with the majority of shortened URLs.
We hope you enjoy using this extension.
