For example, wp.me short links.

Thats 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 theres 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.

Known Issues *Flickr hasnt provide official short links for "picture sets".
