User reviews

Rebrandly URL shortener is praised for its quick link creation, slug customization, and ability to edit existing links, which many find superior to competitors like Bit.ly or TinyURL. However, it requires a user account and lacks a dark mode, which some users miss. There are mixed reports about reliability, with some experiencing the addon breaking or poor developer support. Overall, users who get it working appreciate its unique editing features and recommend it for link shortening needs.

Pros

Allows quick creation of shortlinks directly from the addon window.
Permits customization of the URL slug when creating shortlinks.
Enables editing of destination URLs of previously created links, a feature not commonly available in other shorteners.
Easy to use once the account is set up.
Highly recommended by users who have had positive experiences.

Cons

Requires users to have a Rebrandly account (free or paid) to use the addon.
Lacks a dark mode, which some users desire.
Some users report that the extension broke or did not work properly on initial use.
There are complaints about unhelpful or condescending developer support.
Requires activation that may involve spending money, which some users found disappointing.

This addon is meant to be used with a rebrandly account, which you can get for free. It makes shortlinks quick, and even lets you change the /slug to whatever you want, right from the addon window. The only downside is that the addon doesn't have a dark mode.
