Understanding the Goo.gl URL Shortener Extension

The Goo.gl URL Shortener is an extension provided by the google chrome store. This extension will add a button to your toolbar enabling a shortened URL with a click of a button, and once it’s shortened, the new URL will be automatically copied to your clipboard. There are also option for creating a QR code and seeing your apps history ( if you are signed into your google account). This is useful for sharing a google forms link or any other long, drawn out URL, making it easier to share and easier to type for those those needing to access the site.
