Extension doesn't even show up in the browser. Evidently it doesn't work any longer and should be removed from the store.....

Works perfect and does just what it should. To those complaining about it not automatically copying to clipboard - apps that do that automatically can be really dangerous, more so if you have something already in clipboard that you need. #Protip - triple click the link and press control+C to copy. With practice this takes about one second.

Functions 100% as advertised.

I hope you could find a way to automatically copy the shortened URL. Nonetheless, Great extension! Fast and easy to use!

Good and simple extension. I have two suggestions for improvement: 1) Use https by default, rather than http. We're in 2019 already :) Best would be a checkbox that one can change back to http if needed. 2) As others have already wrote, have a checkbox for auto-copying the link to clipboard. No need for a button to copy, better an ON/OFF switch so that with one click (on the plugin's icon), the link is generated and copied to clipboard.

Should have a copy button next to it, instead of selecting and copying. But still love it :)

I'd rather not have to highlight and copy.

Yes, This app creates a tinyurl link. But you have to scroll over to the little popup, highlight and copy the link. That is entirely way too many steps. Additionally, it would be nice if I could highlight the URL and the extension would add a context menu item to create a tinyURL (Dunno if chrome blocks developers from doing things like this).

Needs to automatically copy to clipboard. What else would anyone ever want it for?

Very quick and easy to use. Never had a problem. Would love a tiny url / QR generator combo.

Creates warning in log of "Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience". Otherwise, works fine.

Simple and works great. Really needs to have the option to have it automatically copy to clipboard.. the short URL does no good where it pops up.. we need it in the clipboard

This is great, but there should be an option to automatically copy to clipboard. kind of annoying to have to copy it manually. When would a user ever NOT want to copy the URL they just created? Are they going to hand-type it into another window? This seems like a no-brainer to me, not sure why this feature is missing.

Great extension. A copy to clipboard option would be a great feature. But overall great extension!

Very useful and save effort for making it shorter.

Works fine but it would be nice if the url was copied to the clipboard so that you could just paste it.

Great app! Had to switch from the google url shortener for two reasons. First, can't use the google shortened URLs on DoD networks anymore. Second it was forcing people to get a google account to see the link.
