tinyurl: A Chrome Extension for URL Shortening

tinyurl is a simple and efficient Chrome extension designed for URL shortening. It is developed to generate a minimized link from the current webpage in an easy manner. All you need to do is click on the tinyurl icon and a compact link is automatically generated. There's also a convenient [Copy] button that will directly send the new link to your clipboard, making the management and sharing of long URLs extremely straightforward and user-friendly.

TinyURL natively allows the user to customize the alias (eg. tinyurl.com/myLink) instead of assigning random characters for the alias (eg tinyurl.com/D8$*fY). I'd give this 5 stars if this extension also allowed that capability.
