Edge URL Shortener

Edge URL Shortener is a free Chrome extension that allows users to easily shorten URLs. With just a right-click, users can shorten their current URL or the URL of supported elements such as images and hyperlinks. The extension also offers the option to login to bit.ly for additional features, although it is not required for basic link shortening.

One of the notable features of Edge URL Shortener is its customization options. Users can access a settings panel to personalize their experience. The extension also supports anonymous shortening using tinyurl.com, as well as shortening through bit.ly, which requires a bit.ly login. For those who choose to login, they can view previously shortened links within the extension or on bit.ly.

It is worth mentioning that Edge URL Shortener uses the latest technology, OAuth 2.0, to securely login to bit.ly. This ensures the safety of users’ login credentials, as the extension does not have access to their password or email.

Note: Automatic URL shortening via the extension’s icon is available but must be enabled in the settings. When enabled, the extension’s UI will not be accessible, and users can restore it by right-clicking the extension’s icon and disabling the automatic shortening option.
