Features & Capabilities

This unofficial extension provides a shortcut button to generate a short url using Shlink, a self-hosted link shortening service. You will need to run your own instance of Shlink for this extension to function!

After installing this extension, you'll need to go into the extension's preferences and enter your API key and the location of your Shlink instance.

Once installed and configured, click the extension and a short link will be requested from your instance for the page you're currently on. This short link will be copied to your clipboard, so you can easily paste it anywhere you'd like.

User Reviews

Doesn't accept my API key and therefore does nothing. Useless. Steps to reproduce - Take API key I've been using with shlink-cli, paste in to extension's preferences, watch as it rejects this. Observe lack of usefulness. My sincerest apologies for not giving 5 stars to things that won't do the 1 thing they're supposed to do. I didn't insult you, I gave a review of an extension that isn't working. *shrug*

Is Shlink Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Shlink requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.
Medium ******* ******* ************* ***** *** ** ******* *** **** ******* ****** ******** *******

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Shlink is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
