Shorten

 

URL shorteners are online tools that take a long URL and create a shorter, more manageable version of it. While URL shorteners can be convenient, they can also pose some risks.

Here are a few potential dangers of using URL shorteners:

1. Phishing attacks: Scammers can use URL shorteners to obscure the true destination of a link, leading users to believe they are clicking on a legitimate website when they are actually being directed to a phishing site.

2. Malware: Shortened links can be used to spread malware by directing users to a site that will download malicious software onto their device.

3. Tracking: Some URL shorteners collect data on users, including their IP address and location, and may share this information with third parties for targeted advertising or other purposes.

4. Link expiration: Some URL shorteners have expiration dates, which means that the shortened link will no longer work after a certain period of time. This can be inconvenient if you want to access the content of the link at a later date.

g0t0.me doesn't take you directly to a destination but presents the expanded destination as a readable link. This way you can abort your visit to an unintended destination.
