User reviews
Pros
- Allows quick creation of short links and QR codes directly from the browser toolbar.
- Users have used it extensively and find it practically essential for link shortening tasks.
- Some users appreciate the customization options for links and branding features.
- Once working, it integrates well with user workflows for sharing and social media.
- The extension helps in efficiently managing and retrieving previously created short links.
Cons
- Requires mandatory login, which some users find unnecessary and inconvenient.
- Often displays error messages like "An internal error has occurred. Please try again!" causing functionality to stop working.
- There is a monthly limit on the number of links that can be shortened for free accounts, which frustrates users.
- Login issues: login buttons are unresponsive or login windows close abruptly, preventing use.
- Loss of features after updates, such as missing right-click options and failure to auto-copy links after shortening.

Infelizmente diminuíram a quantidade de links criados para usuários "logados" sem plano pago. Era a melhor ferramenta com essa finalidade. Encontrei uma e recomendo a todos para substituir essa enquanto estiver com essa limitação. "Url Shortener" ou então nesse link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/url-shortener/godoifjoiadanijplaghmhgfeffnblib

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Bitly | Short links and QR Codes requires very minimum permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
- High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.
- Low ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** ********************
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
Bitly | Short links and QR Codes has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
