観月唯 (ID: 00000058a74b46c9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/28/2023 I really enjoy using the Linkila browser extension to create short links! It's incredibly easy to use and has saved me a lot of time when sharing links with others. The extension is lightweight and doesn't slow down my browser, which is great. It does a great job at what it's designed to do - simply create short links. I highly recommend this extension to anyone who wants a simple and efficient way to shorten links. Thank you, Linkila, for creating this helpful tool!
