URL Navigator
Extension Actions
- Live on Store
Save and manage URLs with aliases for quick navigation.
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
Made a typo? No problem! URL Navigator finds the closest match automatically.
Type "githbu" → Still navigates to your "github" alias!

- You must register for more than 5 bookmark aliases
- dschwegler
- Pretty helpful for navigating to sites with specific url patterns like git. Suggestion: I'd like to be able to customize (or even better, remove) the `as ` prefix.

- Really useful, especially you have lots of frequently visited websites.
