Create aliases for URLs

glink - Chrome Extension for Simplified URL Navigation

'glink' is a handy Chrome extension that transforms your browsing experience by providing a platform to create custom aliases for URLs. Rather than typing a lengthy or difficult-to-remember website address, you can simply type your pre-defined alias in the address bar and hit Enter. The extension then redirects you to the mapped URL. It helps you streamline and personalize your browsing, saving time and enhancing productivity. The extension is secure with all data stored in Chrome, not shared with any third parties.

I have no idea how to use it or even have access to it.

This is already available in Chrome by going to Settings > Search engine > Manage search engines and site search > Site search > Add site details & shortcut, then just type the shortcut into the address bar and it works without the extension.

It does not seem to be what I was looking for. The only way I am able to make this work is as an alternative to Bookmarks. Typing the alias I created into the address bar will take me to URL it was created for. But it does not let me save the URL to the Drive as a clickable shortcut.
