About URL Navigator

Navigate to your favorite URLs in seconds — just type "go" + your alias in the address bar. No more bookmarks clutter! Tired of digging through endless bookmarks or typing long URLs? URL Navigator lets you create short, memorable aliases for any URL and access them instantly from Chrome's address bar. It's like custom shortcuts for the web! How It Works 1️⃣ Save a URL with a custom alias (e.g., "github" for https://github.com/yourname) 2️⃣ Type "go" in the address bar, press Space, then type your alias 3️⃣ Hit Enter — you're there! Dynamic URLs with Parameters Need flexible URLs? Use placeholders for dynamic navigation: Example: https://github.com/<placeholder1>/<placeholder2> Type: go github microsoft vscode Result: Opens https://github.com/microsoft/vscode Smart Fuzzy Search Matching aliases appear as you type, with a preview of the exact URL that will open. Press Enter for the top match or use the arrow keys to choose another. Exact matches rank first, followed by prefixes, substrings, abbreviations, and typo tolerance. Type "gh" or "githbu" → Still find your "github" alias!
