Doug B. (ID: 000000d00e665a5b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/30/2022 Like lots of folks, I use Amazon to shop. Also like lots of folks, I find the URLs Amazon generates to be horrendously long. What I wanted was an extension that would automatically pull all the unneeded cruft out of the Amazon URL path and just leave me with a clean, short link to the item I am looking at. For me, Amazon URL Shortener fits this bill. Best part is, this extension recently added support for Amazon Smile URLs as well!
