Linksnip Extension

Linksnip is a Chrome extension that will copy a shortened address for the current page. Ideally, this will support most popular services that have a shortened form (like youtube.com links to youtu.be). This extension does not operate with URL shortening services. It only computes the new URL from the existing one. A list of the supported services can be found at https://github.com/dlowe-net/linksnip/.

In addition to copying shortened links, Linksnip will also remove various tracking parameters from the URL. The result is a much shorter, cleaner link to be shared.

To use, click on the extension button. A shortened URL will be copied into the clipboard. If the extension doesn't know how to shorten a URL, the whole address will be copied.

This extension requires access to :
- your tabs (to get the page address)
- write access to your clipboard (to put the page address in there)

Tim Wilde (ID: 000000eb5d703cc9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/18/2021 Short URLs for Amazon, YouTube, and more? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

Seth Holmes (ID: 0000001f683def90) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/16/2021 Fewer ugly, giant URLs. Especially when character count matters so much. I hope that we start seeing more support for more sites doing this, but the sites have to support it first. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks!
