URLong Extension

Changes text and href of shortified links back to the real destination URL so you see and potentially visit the real destination URL instead.

How?
----
When you hover over a shortified link, a query is sent to https://urlong.swaplabs.tech to retrieve the destination URL of the shortified URL. The link's text and href attributes are changed to the destination URL after receiving the response (for now, configuration is coming!).

No tracking!
------------
Using an external service to retrieve the destination URL has the added bonus of not being tracked anymore because you don't visit the shortified URL. You go straight to the URL where you are supposed to go.
