@fricklers You can try logging in using your Google account. It's just a simple sign in, we don't require access to any of your info apart from your email and profile photo (if you have one).

@fricklers There are social login icons right below the login and register forms.

@fricklers I tested it in a browser running uBlock Origin and it worked fine. Do you mind telling me which ad blocker you are using?

Hello PH, ST.HT is a very short custom URL shortener that provides a lot of useful features for free. The list of features includes: ∙ Custom URL alias ∙ Shorten multiple URLs ∙ Link expiration ∙ Password protection ∙ Location targeting ∙ Device targeting ∙ Link pages ∙ Tracking pixels In addition to this, ST.HT provides detailed link analytics and also has a Dark Mode 🌗. We have also launched a companion Android app for it. For now, it provides basic features like password protection and shortened URL history.
