    Darvin is a fast, elegant link shortener built around a single promise: shorten any URL in one click.
    
    ->  WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES
      • Right-click any page, link, or image: the "Shorten with Darvin" action turns it into a compact dar.vin URL.
      • Click the toolbar icon to shorten the URL of the current tab.
      • The short link is auto-copied to your clipboard by default. You can toggle this off from the extension menu.
      • A small success card appears on the page showing the short link, a copy button, and a shortcut to create a fresh one.
    
    ->  WHAT'S NEW IN 1.10
      • Smart dedupe. If you shorten the same URL twice while signed in, Darvin recalls your existing short link so your analytics stay clean. One click creates a new one if you really want a second.
      • Anonymous or signed in. The extension works without an account. Sign in at dar.vin to claim links to your profile, see click analytics, and manage them all in one dashboard.
      • English and Turkish. The UI follows your browser's preferred language order automatically.
      • Redesigned success card with the Darvin mascot and a clickable "@username" chip that takes you straight to your links dashboard.
    
    ->  PRIVACY, KEPT SHORT
      • No tracking, no ads, no analytics inside the extension.
      • We communicate with exactly one host: https://dar.vin, to shorten the URL you requested and check whether you are signed in.
      • The only thing stored locally is your auto-copy preference.
      • Full privacy policy: https://dar.vin/privacy
    
    ->  OPEN, FREE, COLLABORATIVE
