Add-on summary
This extension uses tinyurl.com or is.gd to create a tiny URL from today's ridiculously enormous URLs that frequently fail when launching from email clients and other URI enabled software.
With one click, the URL from your active tab will be sent to the selected URL shortening service, returning the tiny URL directly in to your clipboard, ready for pasting.
There is no extra clicking, and (optionally) no notifications. As soon as you click the icon, you can paste the tiny URL where you want it.
