Shorten me - URL Shortener is a lightweight Firefox extension designed to simplify the process of shortening URLs. This tool integrates seamlessly into the browser, providing users with a convenient button and context menu options for shortening links. Users can right-click on any link to access the 'Shorten this link' option, which is enabled by default. Additionally, there is an option to shorten the current tab's URL, although this feature is disabled by default. This flexibility allows users to tailor their experience according to their needs.

The extension prioritizes user privacy, with the developer committing to not use, sell, or monitor any data collected through the service. With a minimal footprint of just 11kB in JavaScript code, Shorten me is efficient and unobtrusive. The source code is also available on GitHub, allowing for transparency and community engagement.
