Update in Jul 2023: Sadly this extension is no longer being maintained. I made an open source extension that does something similar here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/r3bl-shortlink/ffhfkgcfbjoadmhdmdcmigopbfkddial?hl=en-US&gl=US - There are no short link limits - It is free and open source: https://github.com/r3bl-org/shortlink Original review: Fantastic extension ... can't live w/out it ... especially if you're a Googler / Xoogler.

We have a go/ shortlink system at Google and this extension replicates the behavior exactly. I do wish we could change the prefix instead of always using m/
