Perfect extension, just needs some updating. I might make a pull request on github sometime. This extension is different from the others on how it gets the destination url, it catches the redirect and shows you a preview of the actual url before navigating there.

this is absolutely perfect if you receive such links from irc, game clients, and instant message clients
