User reviews

URL Shortener Plus is appreciated for its simplicity and functionality using TinyURL, being one of the few working URL shorteners. However, multiple users report that it often fails to work on newer Edge versions on MacOS, repeatedly displaying a loading state and not shortening links. The add-on exclusively uses TinyURL as a provider without options for alternatives, which can cause issues when TinyURL's service is down. Additionally, some users mention the need for VPN-like tools to use the add-on depending on their region.
Pros
  • The add-on successfully shortens URLs when it works.
  • The add-on is one of the few URL shorteners that still function.
  • The add-on is simple and easy to use.
  • Users appreciate that it uses TinyURL as the service provider.
Cons
  • The add-on does not work reliably on newer versions of the Edge browser on MacOS, often getting stuck on 'Loading...'.
  • It relies solely on the TinyURL service, which may be unavailable or broken at times.
  • There is no option to switch to other URL shortening services.
  • The add-on can be inaccessible or require bypassing regional restrictions (fanqiang).

Doesn't work on Edge browser Version 131.0.2903.112 on MacOS. Click to shrink and it says "Loading..." forever. Never shortens the URL. Uninstalling.
