Obscured URLs in Safari History
Or perhaps you were on Twitter, clicking on some links, and you want to go back later and re-open some of those URLs you found. Yet your history shows only the shortened “t.co” URLs.
Safari is still my browser of choice, but that used to be because it seemed so much better than all the other browsers. Now, other browsers seem to have better features and possibly fewer bugs, but I avoid them because they aren’t very Mac-like.
Update (2012-10-23): Dan Frakes recommends Shaun Inman’s Detox Safari extension.
