Edge URL Shortener

Easily shorten your URLs

Edge URL Shortener is a versatile Chrome extension designed to simplify URL shortening. With just a right-click anywhere on a webpage, users can shorten the current page URL or directly shorten URLs attached to images and hyperlinks. The extension supports anonymous shortening via tinyurl.com, as well as advanced features through optional bit.ly login, enabling users to manage and view their shortened links seamlessly within the extension or on bit.ly's platform.

Featuring customization options in its settings panel, Edge URL Shortener also offers an automatic URL shortening mode via its icon, making link shortening faster than ever. It prioritizes user security by implementing bit.ly login through OAuth 2.0, ensuring credentials are handled securely without storing any sensitive information. This extension is ideal for users seeking an efficient, secure, and user-friendly tool to manage and shorten URLs directly in the browser.
