This extension really does deserve 5 stars... ITS EXTREMELY CUSTOMIZABLE! It's got: a) multiple URL shorteners (always nice) b) QR code generator (super handy) c) DARK MODE (OMG a literal URL SHORTENER has DARK MODE and huge websites do not) d) Sleek UI (the UI is just so good man) e) Lastly, the fact that it can be simple af but complex at the same time with so many settings is... wow LOVE THIS EXTENSION! <3
