Chrome URL Expander 1.5.1 is now live.
Version 1.5.1 of the Chrome URL Expander is now live. It supports a ton of shortening services. This extension simply expands shortened urls found on web pages you visit. It does this automatically as you browse the internet.
This is done by using the API found at: http://therealurl.appspot.com/. I know this is the second time I have switched backends. This new backend is even faster and supports every single url shortening service I have tried. If you find a service it does not support, please let me know and I will add it.
New features:
Version 1.5.1 now allows options to take effect without reloading the page. It also supports changing the link’s text to reflect the title of the expanded URL.
Coming Soon:
The next release will finally have the long awaited rollover feature!
You can install the extension from here: Chrome URL Extension – chrome.google.com/extensions. If you already have version 0.9.3 or newer installed you should be automatically upgraded.
Enjoy!
