Shorten URLs with your own YOURLS instance
Shorten URLs with your own YOURLS instanceYOURLS is free software to create short URLs for websites. It can be installed and run by everyone!
This extension eases the shortening of URLs from Chrome. It integrates into the UI (toolbar button and context menu) and communicates with your own or a public YOURLS instance.
Key features:
passwordless authentication
provide a keyword for the short URL
selected text on the web page to use it as keyword
automatically copy the resulting short URL to your clipboard
Permissions:
Access data for all web sites: The extension needs access to the current website to get the URL and potentially selected text (for keyword suggestions), and the extension needs to access any other URL to communicated with private YOURLS instances.
Input data to the clipboard: The extension is able to copy the shortened URL to clipboard (can be configured in the extension's preferences)
No ads! No analytics! No tracking!

- (2015-02-26) Johan Tollstorp: please add google account sync so that I don't have to add the settings to all my browsers manually.
- (2014-04-18) Ricky Chan: Very useful and nice extension. This is better than using bookmarklets because this will not be blocked by CSP (Try shortening a Facebook URL using a bookmarklet - it won't work!) It would be excellent if the UI can polished a bit further. Overall this is very nice and thanks for developing this!
- (2014-03-05) Jamie Morris: Love this extension, it works perfectly every time. I do wish I could format the output though. Unfortunately the shortened link is provided with large text on a coloured background so it can't just be copy/pasted into an email without editing the formatting. Otherwise brilliantly simple. It does the job.
