Ever hate traplinks? And all those bitly and tinyurl links that all lead to trap websites? Well, here is a simple solution I thought of in less than 30 seconds!
Basically, all we do is create an invisible IE application that goes to the redirection link then reports back where it leads. This is VERY simple to do.
1. Open up notepad
2. Copy and paste in this code:
set ie = createobject("internetexplorer.application")
url = inputbox("Please input your URL here:","URL Decoder")
ie.navigate(url)
wscript.sleep(3000)
x = inputbox("This is where the URL will bring you to:","URL Decoder",ie.locationurl)
3. Save it as "URL Decoder.vbs"
DONE!
That's it!
Now anytime you see a link and you want to know where it would lead you, just double-click that, type in your URL, and get the actual location. |

Or... Write a Chrome Extension that scans for links and sees where they lead using iframes, then changes them accordingly...

Well, only stupidity has been proven to me so far. So I'd need proof. No offense but first impressions are very important to me. |

I'm sorry that I prefer using JS cause I can pop it right into my browser...

Seriously, stop being an idiot. Now you're saying completely irrelevant things trying to make yourself look like a victim. Just go away. |

Chrome extension == JS
Pretty darn irrelevant if I do say so myself.

Mustyoshi's idea is actually better seeing as doing it that way would be much easier for people to use and less time consuming.

Hell, you could even write it to recognize when somebody puts delimiters in the URL to bypass the filter, and remove them.

That would be nice, though I don't know enough js to do that much... *waits for Mustyoshi to make it* :P

Less time-consuming? You both seriously ARE idiot!
1. A good Chrome extension takes at LEAST 5 minutes to write!
2. NOT EVERYONE USES CHROME!
3. Not everyone knows HOW to write Chrome extensions!
I use Chrome, yes. I know how to write extensions, yes. But I'm not an idiot that assumes EVERYONE knows how to, EVERYONE uses Chrome, and EVERYONE feels like writing an extension! |

Why wouldn't you use Chrome?

But that's why you make it and then add it to the chrome web store.

Bawlsaku, not everyone uses Windows, so not everyone can just run a vbs script like that and not everyone can run IE (cuz they don't have IE, newbie).
And the script you made still uses vbs.
Your argument is invalid, sorry. |

Why wouldn't you use Chrome? I DON'T FREAKING KNOW WHY EVERYONE DOESN'T USE CHROME! BUT WE CAN'T CONTROL IT, CAN WE?! So stop being a clueless dingbat and go troll somewhere else. |

Okay, now you are being and idiot. Is EVERYONE stupid here?! Over 95% of computer users have Windows. Move than half of the Mac users also own a Windows PC or a copy of the Windows OS. Nearly all Unix users are dual-booting with Unix and Windows.
Windows is the universal OS, smart one. Learn your facts before you speak. And I believe my facts speak for themselves, saying that only 25.9 % of computer users actually use Chrome. I'm covering at LEAST 97% of people. You're covering 25.9%. There is a BIG difference there.

The internet would be a better place is IE was outlawed.

IE sucks I know and so many popups and freaking toolbars I never use it. |
|
|
Not 95% of computer users have Windows. You are inventing statistics out of nowhere. Go use Google and look on a site with CREDIBLE statistics. |
|
|
Most Linux users that use Linux as their main OS only use Windows for games that can't play on Linux. |

IE9 is much nicer. I think you mean IE8.
