I built a Chrome Extension to automatically expand short urls

In plain words

This Chrome extension automatically expands shortened URLs, revealing the full web address before you click. It's useful for anyone who wants to know where a link leads before visiting it, helping avoid suspicious or unwanted destinations. The extension works directly in your browser, processing shortened links transparently as you browse the web.
