A free, privacy-focused URL shortener.
For people who want greater privacy and data ownership whilst browsing the web, downsize.link shortens your links and protect your privacy by blocking harmful sites and removing unnecessary URL parameters.
To begin, simply click the extension and choose the duration you would like to keep your link alive to shorten the active tab's URL. The link will continue to stay alive as long as it is opened during the selected interval. Your generated link ID will be between 1 to 5 characters long based on the interval you choose.
Whilst browsing, right click on any link you are unsure about on the webpage to open securely by routing the link through downsize.link. To quickly save the current page's shortened link, use the keyboard shortcut (CTRL/CMD + Shift + K), you may get prompted for permission to do.
If you have set a passphrase in the extension options, then your links will be accessible from the popup in a list view by clicking the 'view pass links` button on the extension.
