YOURLS - Chrome Extension for Shortening URLs

YOURLS is a Chrome extension that makes it effortless to shorten URLs straight from Chrome. It integrates with the UI, provides passwordless authentication, and allows for custom keywords for the short URL. The extension can automatically copy the shortened URL to the clipboard, and requires access to data for all websites for functionality. It does not involve any ads, analytics, or tracking.
