About this extension
Adds a URL shortener button and context menu (when right clicking links) using custom service (as bit.ly changed plans).

The source code is available at https://github.com/averissimo/shorten-me

Options available:
- Select which items appear in the context menu:
  - "Shorten this link" - when right-clicking a link (enabled by default)
  - "Shorten this tab's link" - when right-clicking anything else other than a link (disabled by default)

Privacy pledge
Developer pledges not to use/sell/monitor/give any of the data gathered when using the default key.

The extension has a very small footprint as the javascript code size takes only 11kB.
Developer comments
Data from the API usage won't be monitored, used, sold nor given to any entity by the developer. I also declare that I will not use or monitor it for any purpose.

The only motivation for developing this was that Shortly stopped working and all available extensions used unknown services (to the developer)
