Friiter https://github.com/jonjomckay/fritter frontend for twitter automatically unwraps all t.co URLs and displays the original ones
nitter.net (or any other Nitter instance) is excellent for desktop. Nitter (instances) should offer RSS feeds, so you don't even have to use a browser to keep yourself up to date on any public Twitter account.

However, even though Nitter instances are much lighter to load in browsers (for both desktop and mobile) compared to the native Twitter webpage, you may also benefit from Fritter, an open source frontend app for Android. (I don't know of any open source alternatives on iOS.)

Nitter is a great web client for Twitter. If your browser supports extensions, you can use the Privacy Redirect extension to automatically redirect Twitter requests to Nitter:

And if you are on Android, you can also use the Fritter client without a Twitter account:
