ViewThru: Expand Short URLs In Google Chrome

With services like TinyURL and Bit.ly, the whole world is moving towards shortened URLs. They save time, provide easy tracking and are less of a hassle. However, a lot of caution is also required using these since you can never know if there is a NSFW or malware site behind one of these short URLs.

ViewThru is a Google Chrome extension that solves this problem. It expands short urls and displays the complete URL. Once installed, just hover your mouse over any shortened link and the complete URL will be displayed as a tool tip.

The extension supports most of the popular services and also works in incognito mode. It is a great add-on that can make your browsing experience smoother and save you from visiting unwanted web pages.
