Google launched the Goo.gl service since 2009, but due to the small number of users, Google decided to close it and replace it with a new service. It is a service that provides smart URL addresses, allowing redirecting potential users to addresses suitable for iOS, Android or web applications called Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL).

Currently, links created via the goo.gl service will continue to redirect to the landing page but will not be transferred via the new Firebase console. Users can use the goo.gl console to export link information.
