- Google’s URL shortening service goo.gl links will stop working on August 25th, 2025, resulting in 404 errors.
- Starting August 23rd, 2024, goo.gl links will show an interstitial page warning users of the upcoming shutdown.
- Google initially suggested migrating to Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL), which has also since been deprecated.
It was cool back when there were valid reasons for character limitations. But I agree, url obfuscation was often used for less savory reasons.
And I’m not sure how shorteners work for Firefox’s tracking removal, but I’m guessing not well.
