  Version 0.3

  Do you have a link to the page that you viewed? There's a few reasons it might not, namely that it may take a while to load. It takes a little bit, depending on the number of links on the page, to actually load. If you only select options 3 and 5, you'll have to wait a bit and hover over the link to see the destination. With option 5, you can right click and there should be a "Check with Previewlink" option

  Known Bugs

  Only a few for now

  • Unsure about how well it works on mac/linux, I haven't been able to test on them.
  • Doesn't work with linkification.

  Version 0.2

  Version 0.2 is out, available here.

  Unfortunately it's not available at the main site since Mozilla has an odd policy, and to avoid confusion, I kept it at the addon site.

  It adds the above features except the larger tooltip, and supports Firefox 3 Beta 5. I'll also look to localise it a bit later on unless someone wants to offer a translation, and a server-side cache should speed things up a bit.

  Basic Information

  It doesn't block anything, it just gives you the final destination, although a blacklist idea sounds good. You could use Tinyurl's preview service as well, which is also what this uses, but it also checks every url-shortening service (although Tinyurl is clearly the largest).

  I'm hoping to add a few more features that would make it more useful than both Tinyurls preview feature, and a few userscripts that do something similar.

  Previewlink.org

  Previewlink.org is a small firefox addon, and I need a few testers to help out with feedback to boost it into the public AMO page. The site at http://previewlink.org, and a little bit of information on it is here: http://decepti0n.com/projects/10.html.

  In short it'll re-route any url-shortening links through the site, which'll preview it and fetch the destination url. There's a few of these out for individual sites but as far as I know, none that gets them all.

  Thanks for any feedback,
  Tangler forum: http://www.tangler.com/forum/previewlink/topics

  PS - is it just me, or are the link buttons coming up with 'plugin not loaded'?

  Updates

  Finally settled on a new name for it, but I think i'll keep it at the current domain for testing for now. I probably won't be creating any sort of news system, it'll just be focused here for updates (at least for now). The mailbox is being rebuilt at the moment and should hopefully be up soon.
