I have a self-written set of userscripts that does this, as well as unsetting javascript link rewrites and including bitly link expansion and Amazon URL decluttering. I would love to be able to use it on Firefox for Android again, but I don't see them enabling e.g. Tampermonkey any time soon.

If any shortlink uses bitly as a backend, you can expand it yourself by copying the link and adding a "+" at the end, bringing you to the bitly properties page for that link.




Beware that Bit.ly and others themselves often do malicious redirects.

The UX is garbage, but if you use the nightly there is a way to use arbitrary extensions.
