Web Aliases is a Chrome extension that allows users to create nicknames for websites so that users don't have to remember long URLs.

• (2025-05-15) J M: clear added alias from time to time. I guess if you only use it on one computer it is fine.
• (2025-04-18) Balu Andhavarapu: Not working in Microsoft Edge (it's Chromium based too)
• (2025-04-02) Bob Hander: This is great in view of Chrome's inexplicable decision to remove this capability from the search engine keywords feature. However, it would be so much greater if you added an option so that the aliases created on one computer would automatically appear on all other computers logged into that google account (as was the case with search engine aliases). Interestingly, my other computers automatically load this extension into my browser, but without any aliases it is essentially off until I take the time to load them in. Another feature that would be extremely useful is if you allowed some sort of CSV or tab-delimited text file download/upload capability that would allow people to download their existing lists of aliases, edit and add to them, and upload them to different computers (which would be a serviceable workaround if the automatic option mentioned above isn't feasible for some reason). I would highly recommend further work on this, as -- at least for now -- you are one of the best options for the many of us out there left high and dry by the Chrome team's decision to jettison this functionality from the search engine keywords feature.
• (2025-04-02) David Anthony: Excellent - add functionality back where Chrome "saved search engines" dropped this functionality. If there was a way to export the shortcuts to a file for backup and importing on another PC would be helpful. Thanks !!!
• (2025-03-24) Jakub Knast: Very useful!
• (2025-03-20) Jan Skopljak: Keeping in mind that redirecting to urls for which aliases start with @ are not working
• (2025-03-20) Richard Case: Way to pick up the ball when Chrome dropped it! Thank you! Maybe add "speed dial", "shortcut" and "keyword" as search terms; I didn't find this extension the other day when scrambling to repair the damage from Chrome's update. More people need to find this :)
• (2025-03-19) Hubert Lemelin: Great extension, but would be great to be able to edit already-existing shortcuts.
• (2025-03-12) Francois M: Superb, even if some features are currently missing like the list import/export or the sync between PCs via Google account. A nice feature would be to create an alias for the current page but less important. Thans for your job.
• (2025-03-11) Dave Land: Does not do anything for me. 1. Created an alias with a URL 2. Opened a new tab 3. Typed the alias 4. Pressed Enter Nothing happens. You wasted my time. Either learn how to document your product or quit making them.
• (2025-03-11) Tyler Bartle: This restores the functionality that Chrome took away this week! Thank you, thank you!
• (2025-03-11) Shivam Verma: Working perfectly fine...huge thanks, keep up the great work
• (2025-03-08) Michał Olejniczak: Extremely useful extension!
• (2025-01-17) Kennui Muffins: As of Jan 2025, it does not work. Chrome is up to date (Version 132.0.6834.84). There's nothing about solving this so I guess I have to leave a 1. Doesn't hurt to install and see if it works for you though.
• (2025-01-02) Vicky AV: Does the job ... Simple & useful extension
• (2023-12-30) Mariano Tomas Vico: interesting, it doesn't support special characters on the aliases though
• (2023-05-04) Bruno Paiva: very useful!
