User Reviews

User feedback shows the add-on is generally useful and reliable, with handy features like keyboard shortcuts and flexible shortener options. However, recurring issues include flaky context menu integration, ESR compatibility problems, and QR code display not appearing. Some settings persistence problems are noted as well. A few updates address issues, but core problems tend to reappear across reviews.

Pros

Generally works as intended and is useful for shortening links.
Supports a keyboard shortcut for quick, hands-free use.
Offers flexible shortener options, including multiple sources and a setting to pick a default (e.g., TinyURL).

Cons

Right-click/context menu integration is unreliable or missing.
Not compatible with Firefox ESR or older Firefox versions, and some settings may not be saved.
QR code generation/display is missing or not shown.
Bugs can cause the context menu to disappear or stop working across updates.

Recent reviews

This extension redirects you to a suspicious page called "vigilink". I got this message: "uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading"...What the heck is "vigilink", anyway? Some kind of a virus spreading crap?

Is URL Shortener 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.

URL Shortener requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

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

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.

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