Extension summary

There are many situations where you want to copy the current URL to the clipboard, for example if you want to tell a friend about THAT awesome Amazon Sale ;)

But so much web pages (like Ebay, Amazon, Facebook, YouTube and way more) are transporting more or less useless information using GET-Parameters.

I am sure you'll agree that this looks pretty messy. However, these long URLs are also a threat to your privacy because they contain the keywords you searched, a custom user id which could be used to identify you.

This extension provides a simple way to get rid of these long URLs and protect your privacy.

So how do you use it? Just navigate to a supported website, find the Clip.Net icon at the right edge of your address bar and click it!

Clip.Net will automatically shorten the URL and copy it to your clipboard!

AMAZON und EBAY Review: Statt 2 URL Shortener einer fuer Amazon und ein anderer fuer Ebay zu installieren, jetzt NUR eine Application naemlich Clip.Net Web. Das ist praktisch. Auch im Unterschied zu anderen URL Shortener wird hier die Produktbezeichnung in der URL mitkopiert, so dass auch der Mensch gleich versteht was hinter der URL ist. Auch das ist praktisch. Gesamtnote: gut
