Review summary

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.

2026-06-24	Ma*****	L'estensione funziona bene, ma ATTENZIONE, nelle opzioni settatela su "is.gd" e' MOLTO piu' sicuro di "tiny.url" che invece e' molto pericoloso e viene bloccato da "uBlock Origin add" . The extension works well, but BEWARE, in the options set it to "is.gd" it is MUCH safer than "tiny.url" which is very dangerous and is blocked by "uBlock Origin add". TinyURL: As one of the oldest and most widely used link shorteners on the internet, it has historically been a favorite target for cybercriminals. Cybersecurity statistics indicate that TinyURL hosts significantly more malicious links than is.gd

2025-09-28	Ad*****	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.
