## Review summary

Users report the extension generally works and is simple and effective, delivering the requested functionality. A recurring issue is that the external service/redirect it relies on appears abandoned or unavailable, undermining reliability. Some suggestions include updating compatibility with outlinetts.com or adding a URL-shortening step for broader site support. If the external service remains unavailable, the add-on’s usefulness will be limited.
