About this extension
kurl brings the power of your self-hosted YOURLS (Your Own URL Shortener) instance directly into your browser.

Stop switching tabs to shorten links. With kurl, you can create clean, branded short URLs for any website on the fly, making your shared links look more professional and trustworthy.

About the name "kurl"

The name kurl is a playful fusion of two words: "k" from the German word "kurz," which means short, and "url". In German, a short URL is often referred to as a "Kurz-URL," making kurl a fitting and concise name for a URL shortener.

Key Features:
* Instant Shortening: Quickly shorten the current page's URL or any link on a page without leaving your workflow.
* Universal Link Cleaning: Automatically finds and shortens the true destination URL from tracking links (Google, Bing, etc.).
* Multiple Workflows: Use the convenient toolbar button, the right-click context menu, or the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+K).
* Advanced Link Creation: Create memorable links with optional custom keywords and titles.
* QR Code Generation: Instantly generate and download a high-quality QR code for any short URL.
* Full Link Management: View click statistics or delete short URLs directly from the popup.
* Dashboard View: Get a quick overview of your YOURLS instance's total links and clicks.
* Self-Hosted & Private: All communication is exclusively between the add-on and the YOURLS URL you provide. Your data remains under your control.

Setup:

Before first use, please go to the add-on's preferences (right-click the kurl icon in the toolbar → Manage Extension → Preferences) and enter your YOURLS URL and your API Signature Token (found in your YOURLS admin panel under "Tools").
