Currently still in Nightly and only on 'Copy Link'. Still nice progress though.

Another fine addition would be a cut of redirecting trash. If you post some link in some soc network, it would sometimes replace it with it's own link going through an outbound clicks tracker, safety pages 'Do you really want to follow it?' or just block you saying the link seems malicious.

If I'm a 3%er, can I choose not to have it?

There is an Extension called FastForward which skips ad-link redirectors.
Not sure if thats what you mean.

I think Gmail on Android does this. Any link you click on in the app Firefox shows you the initial Google address before you go to the link you clicked on.

If you copy and paste the URL this doesn't happen.
