Nox The Box (ID: 0000005232869100) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/03/2019 Works great and is simple

icon

David Austin (ID: 00000065a8748cac) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/10/2019 TinyURL natively allows the user to customize the alias (eg. tinyurl.com/myLink) instead of assigning random characters for the alias (eg tinyurl.com/D8$*fY). I'd give this 5 stars if this extension also allowed that capability.

Gary Addis (ID: 00000060ed4b441d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/04/2017 I do like it..it does work-- but I mirror the comment made by John Howland: users should not have to go to the icon and choose copy-- it should appear in a right button menu, as it would in FF
