what about other sites that shorten urls?

is.gd is becoming more popular, as are others

is there an easy way to modify this script to work with other shorteners?

maybe there's another script i haven't found that already does this...

... anyone?

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

Would be nice if someone could make a redirect checker which supported checking for all redirecting links via: http://www.webconfs.com/redirect-check.php

@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?

This would be useful when display a page in twitter with lots of tinyurls in it...

Note: the Annotate links script can add foot notes as text for links in the document, but it's less convenient when just browsing.

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:

if (match) {

link.title = match[1];

}

into

if (match) {

link.href = match[1];

}

now the link itself is "fixed".

I couldn't logout of WordPress until I excluded all WP sites from being used: http://*.wordpress.com/*. There are a bunch of link-changing extensions and many more websites that use redirects and javascript to do certain actions. If you think WP is a very common one, please include it in the default exclusion list.

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

Perfect! There is an annoying "off site warning" on a certain forum I visit, and so I removed the * for included sites, and just added that forum. Works like a charm, thanks!

All scripts that unconditionally change links like this, presuming it knows the semantics of any part of the URLs without being hand coded for every site of the web runs the risk of breaking things. http://www.userscripts.org/scripts/show/1897 does the same things, but requires you to click a "unzip <number>" icon that pops up on pages with links containing embedded URLs.</number>

Not bad, but it broke a proxy site I was using.
