What is bookmarklet?
A bookmarklet is a small tool that you can add to your browser’s bookmark bar.
Unlike a regular bookmark that just saves a website link, a bookmarklet performs a specific action when clicked.
With Linko’s bookmarklet, you can instantly shorten the URL of any webpage you’re currently viewing, saving time and effort.
It’s a convenient way to shorten-link without needing to open a separate tab or tool.
