Chrome extension to check if all the links within the selected element are not expired

README

Chrome extension to check if all the links within the selected element are not expired.

How to use:

1. Press extension icon to enable selecting mode.
2. Select a particular HTML element containing <a> tags you want to validate.
3. The extension will check if all linked pages still exist by making HTTP/HTTPS requests. Ones that do not will be striked-through.

What does it mean by valid links?

Links that:

• do not return 404 Not Found
• do not get redirected to the home page or another irrelevant index.html, index.php etc (most likely because of 404)
• are redirected to another domain, but the file still exists (e.g. foo.com/page1.html redirected to bar.com/page1.html is valid)
