Travis Holliday 2025-07-11: Works well as it's specified. However, I would like to see a list of shortened URLs I've saved to copy into emails and the like. I almost always forget my short URLS.
Roger McDonald 2025-05-31: pretty good extension, but i've deducted 1 star because it takes 1 extra click to press the [shorten page] button. I would prefer it to automatically shorten the page, generate the link and copy it to the clip board right when I click on the extension itself
Matt Jajkowski 2024-05-14: I love this plugin and Short.io! Couldn't ask for more, especially at a low cost or completely free.
Pueblos Vivos Cuenca 2024-02-23: Great service, highly customizable (much more than Bitly)
Brian Talamo 2023-09-23: Terrible extension. It doesn't auto copy into clipboard and even if you click COPY, it still doesn't copy. Almost useless. 9/23/2023 Update: Still a mess, doesn't stay logged in, therefor useless app. I have no idea how to actually logout/clear data so I can log back in to make it work.

Abdul Ahmat 2023-06-02: Although you can login via Social accounts eg. Google. Their customer service was immediate to say they know the issue and are working on it. They gave a work around which was to use email and password. login > forget password > get email reset link > reset password > login with email and password. Works all ok now. 🙌

Anonymous 2022-02-01: 'sign in with sso" is broken; even when the login is successful in a separate window, the extension still stays logged out.
Michael Ross 2020-08-28: Initially I was happy with this extension - the short.io service in general is a great value for branded link shortening. Yesterday however I noticed the extension was disabled due to permissions creep - "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" was added. By principle, I do not allow this permission to any extension unless I developed it myself or it's from the security team at my employer. Why does this extension need this level of permission? Is it possible to descope to a more reasonable and safe level of permissions in a future release? If so, I'll be a happy user of this extension once again!

André Scott 2019-04-17: Works as advertised so far! Copy link button works and does what I'd expect. Could use some polish (and copyediting!) but overall great.

Joseph McGuirl 2016-08-21: It's broken. Every short URL I create points to my Microsoft Live account. Please fix this!
