WebAlias Chrome Extension A Chrome extension that allows you to navigate to your favorite websites using custom aliases. How to Use: Basic Usage (Two ways): 1) Best: Use the omnibox keyword - Type: `a` then Space, then your alias. Example: `a go` Enter → opens google.com - You'll also get suggestions as you type. 2) Works too: Type alias directly - Just type `go` Enter. We'll intercept popular search engines and redirect. - Tip: `go/` also works and is often faster. How It Works: The extension intercepts your navigation in three ways: 1. Search Engine Interception (Recommended Method) - Type your alias (e.g., "go") in the address bar and press Enter - Chrome will try to search for it on Google/Bing/Yahoo - The extension catches the search and redirects you to your saved URL instead - ✅ Works for: Google, Bing, Yahoo searches 2. Direct Navigation - Type your alias followed by a slash (e.g., "go/") and press Enter - Chrome treats it as a URL and the extension redirects you - ✅ Faster than search interception 3. Error Page Catch - If Chrome can't find the domain, the extension catches the error - It checks if the failed URL matches any of your aliases - ✅ Fallback method Tips for Best Experience: - Use short, memorable aliases: "go", "gh", "tw", "fb", etc. - Always include the protocol in URLs: Extension will auto-add https:// if missing - Organize with folders: Keep your aliases organized by category - Use the search: Quickly find aliases when you have many saved Examples: | Alias | URL | Usage | |-------|-----|-------| | go | google.com | Type "go" and press Enter | | gh | github.com | Type "gh" and press Enter | | yt | youtube.com | Type "yt" and press Enter | Features - ✅ Create custom aliases for quick website access - ✅ Organize aliases into folders - ✅ Search through your aliases - ✅ Color-coded alias badges - ✅ Edit and delete aliases - ✅ Works with Google, Bing, and Yahoo searches - ✅ Auto-redirects from search results - ✅ Custom favicons for aliased sites
