- Rated 4 out of 5by Raindog, 5 years agoThank you for this add-on, it saves me a lot of time!
I think I've found a bug: in the add-on settings, the checkbox to keep/remove the ?utm parameters is not behaving as it should. Though I unticked that option (https://i.imgur.com/nqIR24h.png) and then clicked on "save", it's still removing the parameters anyway. This was already happening before the last update.
When I shorten the same URL directly in is.gd, the parameters are kept, so I know the problem is not there.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks! I'll take a look!
I can confirm this and will follow up and fix it here: https://github.com/fwenzel/copy-shorturl/issues/98
[update] it is fixed in version 5.0.1! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13693181, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Lahtag, 6 years agoThis is a very good extension, I like it. Sometimes it did not short URL correctly example:
https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/ripple-powered-moneymatch-granted-remittance-license-in-malaysia-by-bnm-bank/
Short Url: https://wp.me/p8SzfS-ydO
https://ricochet.com/612544/trump-may-have-found-the-golden-ticket-on-immigration-restrict-illegals-remittances-back-home/
Short Url: https://ricochet.com/?p=612544
Is there a way to correct this.
Thank you
Thank you so much It is now perfect 100% by changing the setting you mentioned to 1
Thank you Once again
All The best! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14593111, 6 years agoI like this addon but I miss one feature (for my workflow). I would like the option to simply copy the URL and no shortening taking place. (I need to paste it to another application. Some sites the short url fail and I suspect it might be an error on behalf of the webmaster but it disturbs my workflow anyway).
Edit: setting shortening service to none does not work since the shortening embedded in the HTML is still used. Many websites I have seen uses an invalid shortened url in their HTML.Developer response
posted 6 years agoYou can just set "shortening service" to "no external service" and that should work just fine. It will simply copy the URL for you. - Rated 4 out of 5by StickGrinder, 6 years agoThis extension works really great and have a good deal of options and customization to match almost all use cases.
The missing star comes from a little UX annoyance. I admit it may stem from my former experience with another wonderful extension that didn't pass the infamous webextension flood.
Anyway, I'd like to be able to bring the extension icon in the address bar, namely where the bookmark, save to pocket and "more actions" icons are.
Really useful in my opinion. Plus I don't like the colored ruler icon at all. A less contrasted icon that can blend with the rest of the interface a bit more would be really appreciated, at least as an option.
Despite this, a really good extension that deserves a lot of kudos!Developer response
posted 6 years agoThese are good suggestions! I am not sure if there is an API for an extension to show up in the address bar, but I'll look. I filed: https://github.com/fwenzel/copy-shorturl/issues/92 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14403620, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by JEmlay, 6 years agoExcellent! Love the options and super love making the notification optional. Too many people don't do that.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14198913, 6 years agoReally very nice. Moving computers I just found out that most url shorteners won't work in Quantum. One thing, goo.gl never works, throwing up an error.
Yes I did paste an api, still throws up an error.Developer response
posted 6 years agoThank you! It seems Google's URL shortener service was discontinued.

Pena não funcionar no app para Android. - Rated 5 out of 5by Zulu1602, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by thalios1973, 7 years agoGreat add-on. I love the simplicity of it. It's got some legs now that it's one of the few that works well with Quantum. A little polish here and there and a few feature adds (e.g. custom keyboard shortcut, ability to disable/change notifications in options vs about:config) and this could become the de facto shortener for Firefox.

posted 7 years agoThank you for the kind review! Good suggestions (I'll track some of them here https://github.com/fwenzel/copy-shorturl/issues ). I do not understand what you mean by about:config, all available options exist in the add-on preferences. - Rated 5 out of 5by carl0schen, 7 years agoHow to use the short URL of the native website?
For example, when I go to youtube or flickr, right-click on a video or photo URL and select "Copy ShortURL", it always uses the is.gd short URL service but does not automatically use the short URL of you.be or flic.kr.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI'll have to double-check why these websites stopped working. youtube removed the feature (https://github.com/fwenzel/copy-shorturl/issues/85) it is possible flickr did the same! Sorry about that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Goldie Lin, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13473007, 7 years agoLove the app. Would like capability to customize the keyboard shortcut.
