✔ It's also a multi-protocol shortener.

(You can shorten with your own Google or Bitly account.)
✔ Auto copy to clipboard.
◎Permissions EXPLAINED
"Read and change all your data on the websites you visit"
➥ Native URL Shortener ONLY retrieves official short links inside the web page! For example, wp.me short links. That's why it needs to request the permission to read all websites...
Please understand that Native URL Shortener is safe and will NEVER get access to any of your personal data.
◎Long description
Native URL Shortener shortens URLs "natively", using the official short links.
If there's no native shorteners available, your favored shortener (Goo.gl, Bit.ly or TinyURL) will shorten it for you.
BTW, you can shorten with your own Google and Bitly account! Just get into the Options Page and connect to your accounts.
Besides clicking on the icon, from version 3.0.0 you can shorten links from the context menu. Context menu items are available for shortening the current webpage, the link selected, or the link to the image under mouse cursor.
** Please note that some official short links (such as wp.me) will not be available while shortening a link inside the webpage, therefore the link address will be shortened by other shortener service (goo.gl or bit.ly).
Note: You can create a keyboard shortcut to activate Native URL Shortener (Follow instructions here http://www.howtogeek.com/?p=127162)
*This extension does not access any of your private data. It simply takes the commanded url.
The idea of "Shorten natively" is inspired by the "Shortly" Safari extension by ZZHC. http://zzhc.org/shortly
Thanks to Shortly‘s developer for sharing Shortly's beautiful icon with Native URL Shortener.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
