About this Add-on
On any webpage, this add-on adds a new item in the right click menu called “Copy Short URL”. When you click it, the add-on looks for a canonical short URL exposed in the page header or creates its own.
A number of major websites expose their own short URLs for any entry on their webpages, among these: youtube (“youtu.be/…”), flickr (“flic.kr/…”), Wordpress.com, Arstechnica, Techcrunch, and many more.
If, however, the site does not name its own short URL, the add-on automatically falls back to making a short URL using is.gd (or a user-defined shortening service).
Either way, after a fraction of a second, you end up with a short URL in your clipboard, ready to be used in tweets, emails, forum posts, or wherever else you please.

Privacy Policy
I do not collect or retain any private data with this add-on.
However, be aware that due to the fallback to is.gd, when you click the "copy shorturl" button on a webpage, unless the page exposes a short URL of its own, its URL will be submitted to is.gd and obviously stored there. Consult with is.gd if you want to know their privacy policy.
