Use U+200B to evade Twitter's DM malware flagging
Raw
README.md

Use this bookmarklet to escape the URL of the current page and evade Twitter's broken malware link flagging. It prepends all periods with a zero-width space, which Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all seem to ignore. Twitter's server won't recognize it as a link (yet), but the Twitter client will, which means it remains clickable in the DM pane.

For example: https://twitter.com/ will get flagged as malware in a DM, while https://twitter​.com/ won't. They look the same, but the latter has a ZWSP before the . in .com.
