Show HN: URL Unshortener Pro – Reveal redirect chains and trackers from URLs

Hey HN

I recently built URL Unshortener Pro, a free Chrome extension that:

Expands shortened or obfuscated URLs (like bit.ly, t.co, etc)

Reveals the entire redirect chain (handles HTTP, meta-refresh, JavaScript-based redirects)

Flags known tracking domains

Highlights and removes tracking parameters (utm_source, fbclid, etc)

Works fast with smart caching

100% privacy-focused, with no tracking, ads, or external analytics.

I built it out of personal frustration with opaque, tracking-heavy links on social media and news sites.

Would love any feedback, feature suggestions, or bug reports. Thanks!
