Chrome extension to fix links on web.tweetdeck.com and twitter.com to avoid t.co.
This very small Chrome extension rewrites all the links on *.tweetdeck.com
and twitter.com
so that they point directly to the correct URL, rather than
to t.co/whatever
.
This is possible because both websites actually embeds the correct URL in the html. Presumably the only reason they don't rewrite the links themselves is because t.co is doing stats counting.
This is such a small, limited extension that it doesn't seem worth putting it on the Chrome web store. Download the extension from https://github.com/downloads/n3dst4/chrome-tcobypass/chrome-tcobypass.crx and Chrome should automatically give you the option to install it.
