Bookmarklet

A bookmarklet is a "one-click" tool which adds functionality to the browser. The murl bookmarklet allows you to shorten the URL of any web page with a single click.

How do I install a bookmarklet?

To install a bookmarklet, simply:

• Show the Bookmarks Toolbar of your browser by right-clicking on an empty section of the Tab Strip and checking Bookmarks Toolbar in the pop-up menu (the process is very similar for all browsers).
• Drag the bookmarklet "Shorten on murl" from this page to your Bookmarks Toolbar. It should appear on the toolbar.

The only difficult part here is to figure out how to show your browser's Bookmarks Toolbar.

How do I use a bookmarklet?

All you have to do is:

• Go to the web page where you want to shorten the long URL.
• Click the murl bookmarklet on your Bookmarks Toolbar.

That's all there is to it!

Could not install the bookmarklet?

If you can not add the murl bookmarklet, you can always create a new bookmark in your browser's Bookmarks Toolbar, and copy and paste the following code as its URL:

javascript:void(location.href='https://murl.com/?url='+location.href);
