Some web pages use intermediary pages before redirecting to a final page. This add-on tries to extract the final url from the intermediary url and goes there straight away if successful.

Doesn't seem to work for links in Gmail #287

Description (please include examples/screenshots where applicable)

Gmail often rewrites hyperlinks in the body of emails as http://google.com?url=[actual_link.com] I installed this extension and refreshed Gmail, but clicking a link in an email still calls google rather than directly calling the actual link. Is this extension broken on Gmail, or am I misunderstanding how this works?

Works for me: https://www.google.com/?url=www.example.com is skipping to example.com Google might do some Javascript magic though when you click on the link in Gmail.
