Install a URL Shortener Add-on into Your Browser

Whether using Mozilla or Google Chrome, you can install a link shortener add-on into your web browser. An add-on is excellent if you plan to use email or any other kind of text application frequently. It allows you to shorten the URL inside of the application. This means you no longer have to navigate to a third-party website.
