User Reviews

User reviews largely praise TinyURL for being simple, fast, and easy to use. It quickly shortens the current tab’s URL and copies it to the clipboard, with a convenient toolbar icon and popup notifications. Several reviewers also value support for additional shorteners (notably is.gd) and a responsive maintainer. Some concerns mention privacy (VigLink cookies) and external TinyURL API changes that may cause delays or require updates. Feature suggestions include clipboard auto-creation, default notifications, redirect options, and custom TinyURLs.

Brilliant. So easy to use. No more 60ft long URL's from ebay and Amazon.

Please update this add-on to support the new "API" changes from TinyURL. Their previous "API" has been deprecated as of September 2025. You can find more information on TinyURL's official blog regarding this issue, as I'm unable to provide links here. Currently, many links generated using this add-on redirect to a TinyURL page that requires a 10-second wait before the direct link loads. Thank you! Edit: To Developer... You are welcome, let me know if I can provide anymore information regarding this.

Is TinyURL 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.

TinyURL requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

TinyURL has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
