      Like many of the other tools built right into Opera, a URL shortener would be great! Especially since you could use a variant of the Opera name (i.e. op.era/samplestring). AKA - free marketing whenever an Opera user shares the link! I'm not sure about other people, but I'm constantly sending people a link to something in either Telegram, Messenger, or similar and the long URLs start to get in the way. I'm aware that there are third party means of doing this, but a simple integrated method would be awesome!

        Seems nice but it would add (more) traffic to Opera's servers, what may be highly costly.

          I really hate URL shorteners. If that gets built in, it had better be only an option, not an absolute change.

              I use a Google url shortener extension frequently. I would love to have an op.era/samplestring option
