URLDefenseDecoder: Chrome Extension for Copying Decoded Proofpoint URLDefense URLs
URLDefenseDecoder is a Chrome Extension developed by Fractal Systems that allows users to easily copy a decoded Proofpoint URLDefense URL to their clipboard using Chrome's right-click context menu.
The extension provides a simple and convenient way to decode URLDefense encoded URLs. Users can right-click on a URLDefense encoded URL or select and right-click on a plaintext URLDefense URL to access the Chrome Context Menu option called "Copy URLDefense-Decoded-Link". By clicking on this menu item, the decoded link will be copied to the clipboard. Alternatively, users can manually paste encoded URLs into the extension's popup box from the toolbar.
While the extension is straightforward and useful, there are a few known and potential issues that the developer aims to address in future updates. These include nested context menu entries when selecting a hyperlink and already highlighting a previous URLDefense URL, lack of code comments and error handling/logging, and limited testing with /v1 Proofpoint URLs and complex syntax. Users are encouraged to report any issues they encounter on the extension's GitHub page.
URLDefenseDecoder is a free Chrome Extension and is available for download from the Chrome Web Store. It offers a handy solution for quickly decoding Proofpoint URLDefense URLs, making it a valuable tool for users who frequently encounter such URLs in their browsing activities.
