Tin Foil Hat
Reveals destination URLs hidden by TinyURL
For each link that is redirected through TinyURL, Tin Foil Man finds out what the real destination is and makes the link display that information in a tooltip.

This is a very cool script and it works. So far I have had to use an redirect checker, fx.: http://www.webconfs.com/redirect-check.php when I was suspicious about tinyurls. Just to bad that the script doesn't have any Linkification support: The tinyurl text link which Linkification converts into clickable links, doesn't show a tooltip when hovering over them :(, so for them I still has to use http://www.webconfs.com/redirect-check.php

@Mithrandir:

@norz: Try
if (match) {
// replace href with real url:
link.href = match[1];
// replace text with real url:
link.firstChild.nodeValue = match[1];
}
|

Can it be modified to even change the url text to the source url?

An adaptation with more XPath and less JS, as my provider is blocking tinyurl.org: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11410 |

Nice script! I changed this line:
into if (match) {
now the link itself is "fixed". |
|
|
Great idea! Thanks. |

I'm undecided as to which is better - the script or the name !!! |
