Is Expand URL safe?

Clean risk

Expand URL sends user-selected or typed URLs to expandurl.net when asked to expand a link.

Expand URL adds a context-menu option and popup form for expanding shortened links. When you use either feature, it opens expandurl.net with the selected link or typed URL in the request so the service can show the expanded destination.

Where it sends data
