De-t.co Extension

Sometimes twitter's url shortener is slow or unresponsive. Take them out of the equation.

This extension only runs on twitter.com and subdomains of twitter.com.

Since this is a background script, I added a screenshot of kittens. Not sure what else to do.

Eric Mann (ID: 000000a990db27f8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/13/2014 Always hated when t.co slows down or flat-out errs while directing me to full URLs. Thanks to this helpful tool, I'll never be stuck in limbo again!
