Shortcuts for Chrome

Navigation menu of Chrome URLs: internal pages of the Google Chrome browser.

Shortcuts for Chrome is a free and open-source Chrome extension designed to simplify navigation of internal Chrome URLs. It provides a flat, configurable menu listing all Chrome browser internal pages like indexedDB, service workers, Bluetooth device interfaces, and more — ideal for users seeking deeper insights beyond standard navigation.

Key features include the ability to pin favorite URLs for quick access, drag and drop to reorder these pinned links, and automatic adjustment to match your browser's dark or light mode. This tool empowers both technical and non-technical users to discover hidden browser features easily and enhance their Chrome experience efficiently.

User reviews

Users appreciate 'Shortcuts for Chrome' for offering quick and comprehensive access to Chrome's internal URLs, which is helpful for developers and general users alike. However, multiple reviews note that the extensive list of shortcuts is overwhelming and hard to navigate, especially without options to customize or hide unused shortcuts. Additionally, the extension is static and not fully compatible with non-Chrome Chromium browsers, and some users find it unclear how to add or customize shortcuts.
Pros
  • Provides quick access to a wide range of Chrome internal shortcuts.
  • Up-to-date and supports more URLs than some alternatives.
  • Convenient alternative to manually creating a list of Chrome URLs.
  • Helpful for developers and general users to access browser functions easily.
Cons
  • The list of shortcuts is very long and extensive, making navigation difficult.
  • Lack of customization options to hide or prioritize shortcuts in the dropdown menu.
  • Not dynamic: does not update automatically or adapt to Chromium browsers other than Chrome.
  • Some confusion among users on how to add or customize shortcuts within the extension.

Just a fair warning that this is ultimately just a static, tailored list of URLs -- neither complete, nor dynamic (not that changes are frequent), nor perfectly applicable to Chromium-based browsers not called "Chrome" (e.g. Brave, Opera...) That said, of course it doesn't claim to be any of those things, and (even in those other browsers) can be a pretty convenient thing to have around! And preferable to making your own list in an html file somewhere... FWIW, I believe chrome://chrome-urls is the complete list of all 'internal' (top-level) shortcuts p.s. to the reviewer who mentioned chrome://app-settings is blocked: Chrome Apps were deprecated, so that's expected behavior. (see comment about "not dynamic," ha ha :))

Very good up to date extension which provides quick shortcuts to just about anything in Chrome you want quick access to. Yes I am aware you can pin your favourite shortcuts to the top of the list, but in order to do this you have to scroll down a very long list. This extension could be improved considerably by giving us the option to control what shortcuts are displayed in the toolbar icon's drop down menu. At present the list of shortcuts is rather extensive and very long, many of the listed shortcuts would never, ever be used by me and I personally would find this extension much easier to use if I had the option to hide shortcuts that I know will never be used.
