Most other add-ons opened some form of popup from the add-on button, and you need to take action (usually another click somewhere) to close them. When it was published as an add-on, I received many requests to add some kind of indication that the link was copied to the clipboard. I originally made this for my own personal use and it didn't even have notifications. The design goal of this add-on was to have a truly one click experience. It gives the add-on the ability to add context menus to tabs for this purpose. This permission was added to support a requested to generate a shortened URL via the context menu on any open tab. It gives the add-on the ability to write to the clipboard for this purpose.
This permission was added to support programmatically copying the shortened URL to the clipboard. It gives the add-on the ability to read from the clipboard for this purpose. This permission was added to support a requested to generate a shortened URL from a link already copied to the clipboard. As soon as you click the icon, you can paste the tiny URL where you want it. There is no extra clicking, and (optionally) no notifications. With one click, the URL from your active tab will be sent to the selected URL shortening service, returning the tiny URL directly in to your clipboard, ready for pasting. This extension uses or is.gd to create a tiny URL from today's ridiculously enormous URLs that frequently fail when launching from email clients and other URI enabled software.
