User reviews
User reviews highlight that the Bitly Firefox add-on is easy to use and effective for link shortening and QR code creation. However, multiple users note that it now requires an account and limits free usage to 12 links per month, prompting some to seek alternatives. The recent UI/UX changes have made the extension less user-friendly, requiring more scrolling, and users cannot create new tags directly from the extension, needing to visit the website instead.
Pros

- Provides convenient link shortening and QR code generation
- Terrific functionality with a clean interface
Cons
- Requires an account to use
- Limited to 12 free links per month, with charges after
- New UI/UX requires scrolling and is less user-friendly
- Cannot create new tags within the extension, must do so on the website
