Changelog:

Quote: 2.8: New supported shorteners: htn.to, trib.al, mhlthm.ag, nerdi.st, pulse.me, y2u.be, feedproxy.google.com, mdk.to

New supported maskers: news.google.com, mandrillapp.com

Other minor improvements.

The request form has been slightly updated. The responses can now be viewed publicly (personal contact information has been removed from past submissions) so you can see the progress if you want: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing 2.7.2: Fix for absolute URLs

Ignore <noscript> meta refreshes

Resolve All URLs: 'Only on WiFi' option

New URL shorteners: glm.io, nazr.in, chip.biz, ift.tt, dopice.sk, phon.es, buff.ly

New URL masker: getpocket.com 2.7: Added option to use the LongURL API to unshorten URLs.

Added Google Forms link to submit new URLs.

Added dustn.ws to URL shorteners.

Bug fixes.

Updated Slovak and Chinese translations. 2.6: Added new maskers: pt.tapatalk.com (support for the latest TapaTalk versions.)

Added new shorteners: ht.ly, po.st, ohmyyy.gt.

Avoid infinite loops if the URL can't be unmasked correctly.

Translations: added Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, updated Slovak. 2.5: Try to detect meta tag redirects for all hosts.

Use CookieManager to store cookies. This is necessary for e.g. nytimes which kept redirecting us in a loop otherwise.

Go back to using the default user agent, setting a custom one was apparently messing up some requests. 2.4: Add preference to disable resolving all URLs: *after* clicking a shortened URL and resolving it once, only known URL shorteners will be resolved. Consumes less bandwidth, but may not resolve all *nested* shortened URLs correctly. Example: goo.gl/something (known; resolve) -> tinyurl.com/something (known; resolve) -> some-unknown-shortener.com (unknown; do not resolve) -> ???

Spoof Firefox for Android's User Agent. This may be useful when the "Resolve All URLs" option is checked, as websites will send us the mobile versions instead (less bandwidth consumption.)

Use correct hook for ICS (the module wasn't working correctly for ICS devices.)

Fixed Dutch translation.

Avoid infinite loops. 2.3: Add support for YouTube attribution links.

Add Dutch and Greek translations.

Update German translation. 2.2: Confirmation dialog: handle back button;

Don't ignore unshortened links (useful for a masked URL inside a shortened one);

rovo89 and Tungstwenty for the Xposed Framework;

AChep for helping and testing various stuff;

julianjm for helping out with URL resolving;

All translators and testers.

Some apps redirect all external links through their servers. This breaks intent filters (which means you can't open Play Store links with the Play Store, GitHub links with the GitHub app, etc - you're forced to use a browser to get past the redirection.)This module removes the crappy link redirection/masking/tracking from various apps.Also, if URL unshortening is enabled, the module will also try to resolve shortened URLs before opening them. This means that e.g. shortened links leading to YouTube (for example: http://bit.ly/1gf00Wo ) can be directly opened in the YouTube app.Non root users can use this app.When requesting support for an app you use, include its download link (e.g. Play Store.)Since it's unlikely I'm also using whatever app you want, I also need detailed information if e.g. link masking only happens in certain parts, and getting there isn't straightforward.Also gives an example of how the URL is formatted (what *should* open, and what is opening instead.) For example, this is what happens for the Play Store:... and I'll try my best to support it.URL shorteners that require user interaction, such as Adfly, won't be supported.Of course, pull requests are very welcome if you can do add support for it by yourself.Please include a non-filtered logcat when reporting issues, as well as the full URL if applicable.The best way to include a logcat is to use a pastebin such as bpaste.net, pastie.org, or ix.io.Do not use the Xposed Installer's "Log" section, as that's not made to give the full logcat.CrappaLinks supports the following URL shorteners:And these hosts for masked URLs:
