ADVERTISEMENTS
LinkWalker is cool firefox addon which lets you see the actual URL behind the encoded google search results, or any link, image or text selection, displays a popup showing the link, and any other links which might be encoded in the query string. It provides a context menu entry in the right click in firefox for links which displays encoded URLs, strips off querystring parameters, and converts text to links.
It also displays a tree of subfolder links from the popup, any displayed link can be clicked or dragged to a new window or tab. The LinkWalker add-on is useful for bypassing click-through servers, revealing encoded links, navigating a web site’s folder hierarchy, and converting selected text to clickable links. This add on can help a lot in detecting the phishing links and prevent you from clicking harmful links.
