Edge URL Shortener

Edge URL Shortener is a free Chrome extension that allows users to easily shorten URLs. With just a right-click, users can shorten their current URL or the URL of supported elements such as images and hyperlinks. The extension also offers the option to login to bit.ly for additional features, although it is not required for basic link shortening.

One of the notable features of Edge URL Shortener is its customization options. Users can access a settings panel to personalize their experience. The extension also supports anonymous shortening using tinyurl.com, as well as shortening through bit.ly, which requires a bit.ly login. For those who choose to login, they can view previously shortened links within the extension or on bit.ly.

It is worth mentioning that Edge URL Shortener uses the latest technology, OAuth 2.0, to securely login to bit.ly. This ensures the safety of users' login credentials, as the extension does not have access to their password or email.

Note: Automatic URL shortening via the extension's icon is available but must be enabled in the settings. When enabled, the extension's UI will not be accessible, and users can restore it by right-clicking the extension's icon and disabling the automatic shortening option.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
