[solved] ¿Is there a convenient way to preview the actual URL behind a hyperlink before visiting it?
Markup let's you label a link which is really nice for readability but can also be used to trick people into opening a different site from what they are shown. For example the link below suggests it takes you to a Mastodon instance but if you blindly tap it it will take you somewhere else:
Is there a quick and convenient way to check the actual URL behind a link? I know that it's possible to show a post as plain markup but in longer posts with potentially multiple links it's cumbersome to correlate what is what.
Ideally long tapping a link should show you the actual URL or alternatively you always get a small confirmation pop up with a simple tap (that's how it worked on RIF for instance).
Just sanity checking if I'm missing anything, else I might submit a feature request.
Edit: looks like this was added in a recent update. Get the newest version and it will let you long press a link to get an options menu.
It's not a feature of Jerboa, but URLCheck provides that functionality system-wide. I had been missing that feature from RiF, but found URLCheck to fill that void nicely.
I've resolved my issue by updating Jerboa to the newest version but that's a really useful app to have nevertheless. It let's you do a whole bunch more like removing tracking parameters or see what's behind a shortened url. Thanks for sharing.
Our government decided to ban all the adult websites to shield their incompetence in handling a very horrible sexual abuse and murder of a child. And TIL this website was also included in that list.
No need, just switching to alternate DNS works. Also ISPs dont care about it.
One thing is funny though, people tend to think its a secret feature to switch to an alternate DNS server. Like they are the only ones who know this. Network Engineers in ISPs study this thing. They know it, they just dont care if you bypass this nationwide filter. They are doing this just to show that they are following government rules.
