FastForward is the successor of Universal Bypass, a browser extension made for Chromium, Edge and Firefox, that can bypass annoying link shorteners, so you don't need to waste your time trying to get to your destination link.
FastForward will
- Circumvent sites which make you wait for 5 - 60 seconds while showing you ads (like adf.ly)
- Bypass sites that make you do something such as subscribing to a youtube channel, or following somebody on social media (e.g., show.co and sub2unlock.com)
- Block sites that track information about you (such as bit.ly and t.co)
- It also helps to prevent your IP address from being logged by sites by blocking them.
