Review summary

Users find Link Shortener quick, simple, and convenient, often saving time and working reliably. Praise for its cross-browser compatibility and unobtrusive design is common. However, there are recurring concerns about occasional instability, site compatibility (especially with Twitter), and missing features such as keyboard shortcuts, self-hosted/multi-service support, and history deletion.

Saves time and improves workflow by avoiding extra steps to shorten URLs.
Generally reliable and does what it promises.
Cross-browser compatibility across multiple browsers.
Simple, unobtrusive design that doesn't clutter the UI.

Cons

Occasional instability or performance issues, including freezing for several seconds.
Compatibility issues with some sites, notably Twitter, causing crashes.
Bugs leading to inconsistent shortening results, such as the same shortened URL being produced for multiple inputs.
Missing quick-access features like a keyboard shortcut for activation.
Feature gaps: no built-in support for self-hosted or multiple URL shortening services and no option to delete shortened history.
