Paulo Santos (ID: 000000d30e4d53b1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/19/2023 I was using the official bit.ly extension. However, for some reason, I'm not being able to create any shortcuts for the last few weeks. I had this extension on Edge, and Decided to use it on Chrome. Simple, unobtrusive, and -- so far, at least -- always work.

Cre8ionz (ID: 0000008e368bc490) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/17/2023 ganz gut, allerdings finde ich die originale Bitly Browser Erweiterung besser. Funktioniert immernoch, obwohl das letzte Update ende 2019 heraus kam. Stand: 01.2023

Robson Grant (ID: 000000f51f4e3e5d) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/05/2022 The only reason I dislike this extension is because it's not actually a BIT.LY product, it's bityl.co so I find it deceptive marketing.

5n8k3_shd0w Jaxx (ID: 000000d813efacd3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/07/2022 Sits nicely in your browser. Unobtrusive when you have a link to shorten paste it in your browser and hit enter. When the page opens click on the icon in your browser and bitly will give you a short link. Tips, once bitly assigns a url to a link it will give that url the same link every time in case you lose it. So just go back to the site and click the icon. It will generate the same shortened link. Affiliate links are the same just paste the link in your browser click go. Then click the icon to generate a short link. Your id will count and everyone will be redirected to your affiliate page. Super simple!!!!
