Add-on summary

NOTE: A April 2023, Facebook change a lot about the link tracking. Now is doing the majority server side so the extension works only on external links that are written the post, not the one in the preview.

In every link on Facebook there is a redirect when you click on the link and is very boring other than they track you. This extension block this behaviour and in very light!
