Issue:

Twitter would show t.co, if the tweet doesn't have a instantview

The problem is a little more widespread than that. I noticed that the title attributes from all the text links were removed. This is the second time the Twitter developers do that. Or is that what you meant by "instantview", the small tooltip with the original URL?

I think I will update the add-on within a day.

You can update the add-on through the Add-ons Manager now.

I updated the add-on and it worked for the above problem.

I found a little problem, the link on the description place of the related Twitter account shows t.co. anti_redirect_relatedaccount

Yes, the add-on doesn't clean the links from the "Relevant People" section and I don't think I ever claimed that. That has been on my to-do list along with other enhancements for some time but I kept postponing it, unsure to how many users actually need them. I am currently dealing with another issue with the add-on, once I solve that, I will update it to clean the links from that section.

By the way, do you use tweetdeck.twitter.com? The links on tweetdeck most show t.co.

theAlinP commented 3 years ago

No, I don't use for the moment, but I will try to add support for it because I might use it in the future. After the enhancement mentioned above.
