When you want to know the URL that a link points to, you can put the mouse pointer over the link and see the URL in the status bar. But on touch-screen devices tapping on the link doesn't show the URL.

This extension, enables showing the URL in the status bar on touch screen devices by focusing the URL when you press your finger on the link.

To prevent clicking on the actual link, simple move your finger slightly after pressing on it which will scroll the screen slightly and cancel the link click.
