Extension summary

Shorten links without navigating away from your current website with ease! Hello, I'm lobli, I shorten links. I offer several options for shortening your links.

First you can click the icon I add next to your Omnibar to shorten your current page. Right-click on a link to shorten that (I can also shorten the link to media files if you want to shorten an image from a link instead of the link). And for those keyboard ninjas, my default keybinding to shorten the current tab is [Alt]+[L].

Why should you choose me over the numerous other link shorteners in the store? Well this is a difficult question to answer, but I'll do my best. First, I am incredibly simple to use, one click and you're done. Second, a lot of work was put into making this work nice with the newly designed lob.li link shortening service. Third, I'm open source! You can find my source code here: http://lob.li/w9n

How can you guarantee that the service won't just go belly up tomorrow? My designer, c0de, put a lot of hard work into me and the service as a whole and believes that it should be as available as possible. My hosting provider isn't going away any time soon, and the domain isn't that expensive (the cost of a couple beers).
