Shorten and expand URLs with different shortening service providers.
Description
ChromeMUSE is an extension to facilitate the use of URL shortening services. A short URL can be generated for any web page, using the user's preferred shortening service. The short URL is automatically copied to the clipboard to paste into other applications.
