You know them, those tiny URLs people use in their social media posts. And you click them - sometimes taking you where you thought you should go and other times - SURPRISE - not safe for work or worse!
LinkPeelr and LongUrl are your solution to safely accessing shortened sites when they crop up anywhere from your emails to your Twitter feeds. By simply pasting the shortened link into their search bar, either site will tell you if you’re headed for a virus-laden disaster or that adorable new kitten picture your friend promised.
LinkPeelr has an add-on for Google Chrome and LongUrl concocted an add-on for Mozilla Firefox, showing you the true location every time you hover your mouse over a shortened link. Save yourself the link surprises and use these tools!
