## Description

Invis URL removes long path clutter from the browser address bar by automatically shortening URLs to their origin (domain only). This creates a cleaner browsing experience while keeping all navigation fully functional.

The extension works on page load and during navigation events (including SPA route changes using pushState/replaceState). It intelligently updates the visible URL without affecting the actual page state or breaking site functionality.
