  • (2023-02-15) Bubblegum: Clean and minimal UI, well explained options, and a shortcut function. 10/10 couldn't ask for more
  • (2022-09-01) kraiton1: I have been using it for a long time now I have also installed the extension ..Thank you
  • (2021-10-13) Michael Dickson: Works great. Quick and easy. Highly recommended.
  • (2021-06-06) Nathan Wray: Don't let the "last updated" date fool you, this open source apache licensed extension is simple and still works. Just what I was looking for.
  • (2019-08-02) Hiro Kobayashi (hirokoby): I think this is a wonderful URL shortener. BUT, would it be possible to add a "Title" feature, so that the title and shortened URL can be copied?
  • (2019-05-14) Edward James Freeman Joss: By far the best. URL Shortener does exactly what it says on the tin, and it allows you to choose which of five url-shortening services to use (also "none", i.e., copy the current url to clipboard unaltered). There are no extra steps, such as the pointless two-stage get-the-shortened-url followed by "now copy it" of at least one other inferior url-shortening extension.
  • (2019-05-09) Bob Korbel: Simply the best. It does what is says and does it well.
  • (2016-11-05) Bashir Abba (bash550): This is the best URL shortener out there. I tried out quit a few, but they all had one issue or the other. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that it listed t1p.de as one of its optional shortening service providers.
  • (2015-05-11) Andreas Gutowski: Einfach und gut. Danke für die Erweiterung.

  • (2021-10-20, v:2.2) Henny Grevelink: Deze shortener werkt niet meer Error: Network error
    De shortener werkt niet meer. Als je erop drukt geeft de shortener een "network error"
  • (2021-06-09, v:2.2) Michael Reich: URL Shortener Not Working
    I am routinely getting "Network error" when attempting to shorten a URL using the Brave Browser (based on Chrome). Any ideas why?
  • (2020-11-23, v:2.2) John Navas: 1n.pm
    Thank you for the extension! Please add support for 1n.pm, based on open source polr. https://github.com/Cydrobolt/polr
  • (2020-08-26, v:2.2) A. M.: Features
    I wish there was an option to customize the URL and, also, that the URL shortener appeared in the context menu of pages and links. However, very useful and simple extension
  • (2019-05-14, v:2.2) Edward James Freeman Joss: Icon resetting to default
    Icon resets to default from my favourite underpants style - the dark icons don't show against my dark theme and the default looks a bit like the "merge windows" icon. I get the impression that this problem was fixed (at least) once before. I am using Google Chrome Version 75.0.3770.27 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) on Linux, but the problem occurs also on Opera, Vivaldi and Chromium. I shall check later whether this problem occurs in Windows as well.
  • (2018-05-05, v:2.2) Jan Leppens: link-layout (copy)
    Maybe it's an option to provide a link that is plain text (no layout). It's easier to copy in other documents. Thanks.
  • (2018-04-30, v:2.2) JediMasterASD: White Link Icon
    Would like to suggest having the ability to select a white version of the currently available black link icons for the toolbar. Us using dark/black themes in Chrome are limited to only the default icon or the boxers which are just silly. Thanks for the extension, it works great.
  • (2016-09-09, v:2.2) Icon problem
    Icon in the Chrome toolbar resets to the default one after browser restart. Please fix!
  • (2016-05-22, v:2.1) Add to context menu.
    If the URL shortener appeared in the context menu for pages/links, one could remove the button from the toolbar and have one less button in the toolbar.
  • (2016-05-22, v:2.1) Network Error
    Error: Error: Network Error The above is what appears when I click the extensions button to shorten (using is.gd). is.gd is accessible and I see no network issues on my machine.
