Is URL Shortener safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

URL Shortener is medium risk. When you use Best URL Shortener to shorten a page, the extension sends the full long URL to hybridapps.net and amazonspot.net before falling back to tinyurl.com. The Chrome Web Store listing describes URL shortening generally, but the DB evidence names these additional third-party endpoints and the URL query parameter. Best URL Shortener fetches message configuration from a remote endpoint and uses the server response to decide whether to show browser alerts, native notifications, or in-page WebUI notices. The request is tied to extension storage data and the remote response can control message text, notification type, timing, repetition, and targeting rules.
