Linksnip - Copy a shortened address of the current page
Linksnip is an 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.
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.
