If you visit what is presented here as the the processing site, that is TheRealURL.net, you may notice it hard to find (if it is there) this add-on on their homepage, homepage which moreover is closer to an encyclopedia than to an index : some programmers still don't understand that a homepage must be short and attractive, clear and fast to load. In these circumstances why would I even bother with this add-on ?
3 stars as an average of 1 (above mentioned) and 5 (I hate being affirmative of whatever).
Another time, if what I've mentioned has been corrected, maybe then will I spare a few minutes :) Gosh, you have to understand that there are thousands of add-ons here so if you want to make it, commit yourself, that is if you really care.
Indeed, therealurl.net was snatched by some spam site. Thanks for alerting me! I changed the listing to the correct link, http://therealurl.appspot.com
(BTW, most add-on developers don't really "want to make it" - we have our own careers, completely unrelated to these add-ons. I made TheRealURL for my own use and gave to the community hoping others might find it useful too.)

Would give zero stars if possible - does not work with FF4!
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.52).I pushed an update now that supports Firefox <= 13 - sorry for the delay!

There is a big problem with this as an add-on for Thunderbird. I open messages in their own windows and this does NOT give any right click option for TheRealURL within the message window.
To check on the problem I opened a message “In A New Tab” instead, and there TheRealURL worked just fine. So the problem seems to be only with messages opened in their own windows as opposed to in new tabs.
I posted a bug report about this back in June, and heard back quickly; unfortunately the developer doesn't have the time to look into this. So as nice as this add-on is for Firefox, it does not work correctly for Thunderbird, at least for the way that I use it.

This extension does not work on youtube.com on "YouTube - The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - LEAKED FULL MOVIE!" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqouwtMYUEs&feature=related
I did not check other youtube.com links but it is likely not to work at these other youtube.com links.
At the place where it says:
"GWbhxpFu — 06 January 2010 — http://tinyurl.com/y96ydo4 Lovestruck teenager Bella must choose between her vampire boyfriend Edward and werewolf Jacob.".
When I check for this tinyurl link just above, it says:
"Cannot expand URL (404)"!!!!!!!!
