Twitter Direct Links

by zxcat · (11 ratings)

TwiDL removes redirects and url shorteners from links in Twitter timeline.

Description

Twitter often knows, where link points directly and shows this info in link tooltip. But when you click a link you'll first browse to twitter's own url shortener "t.co", after to shortener(s) and finally reach the page. Twitter Direct Links extension allow you to jump directly to the destination page on click. Processed links underlined with green dashed line (configurable) and display Link Hint on hover. TwiDL can extract up to four links from a tweet: (1) As is link (usually "t.co/..."). (2) If possible, link displayed in tweet itself (e.g. opera.com). (3) Corrected destination link (see description below). (4) Raw destination link from tooltip. Normally (1) is used. With TwiDL (3) will be used. It's derived from (4) by removing tailing slash, which is often misplaced. If default link don't work or you want to use other, just hover link for 1 (configurable) second and Link Hint will appear. BTW: Twitter Direct Links extension improving your privacy by avoiding links tracking ;) Support: + The fastest way: Tweet @zxcat with #oTwiDL. + http://my.opera.com/zxcat/blog/2011/10/17/twitter-direct-links + The slowest: comment here.
