Detox
This is an intervention. Detox is a tiny Safari extension that automatically expands shortened t.co links on the Twitter site (third-party desktop app users are out of luck, sorry should see the 1.1 update below).
Ever wonder why links you find via Twitter don’t show up in your browser history and aren’t suggested by autocomplete in the url bar? The t.co link shortener serves known browser user agents an HTML page containing a JavaScript or meta refresh redirect (instead of the standard Location header) so that Twitter can stake itself out as the referrer when coming from third-party clients. This confuses Safari.
Stats are cool and all but only when they don’t break the experience for your users.
(Zackary Corbett made a Chrome version too, which may or may not be necessary. Firefox and Opera also appear to be unaffected.)
Detox 1.1
Now when you hit a t.co redirect page (from a native client or a direct message from Mail.app) the destination url is added to the document title making the destination url appear in your history and url autocomplete suggestions.
Detox 1.2
Added code submitted by Orangenhain that fixes a similar history-breaking problem on Google’s search results.
