What is Link Shortener?
Link Shortener is a Firefox extension that effectively shortens and manages URL links. With customizable API keys for various link shortener services such as T.LY, Bitly, and Rebrandly, users can set link expiration by date or clicks and even use their own domain with Rebrandly API. Short links are automatically copied onto the clipboard for easy sharing, and right-click-enabled functions offer further convenience. Moreover, this extension creates a shareable QR code for each short link and demands limited permissions - thus ensuring user security.
