Crashes chrome when you download PDFs. Casued months of agony before narrowing it down to this extension. aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No support for randomly generated links. If I only want to shorten a link without making it something memorable I am forced to either provide the "random" name or paste the full 4 line long link into whatever tool doesn't support actual links (e.g. Google Docs comments). Mildly disappointed.
