This script is now deprecated. Consider switching to Twitter Prime to replace t.co shortcuts with actual URLs, as well as block other analytics and ads.

This small* script intercepts every GraphQL query on twitter.com and replaces all t.co/ URLs in the response payloads with actual links to actual web sites.

That means any external link you see on twitter will point directly to the correct URL rather than being hidden being Twitter's t.co redirector.

The result is more visually pleasing. It also robs Elon Musk of the ability to slow down access to sites he dislikes when linked from Twitter.

Which sounds ridiculous, but it's a real thing he was caught doing, because of course he was.

*: The bulk of the code is @require'd from my MiddleMan library, originally written for this script, but with capabilities that can go quite a bit further.
