Features & Capabilities

The Paste and Go Key Chrome extension enhances your browsing efficiency by allowing you to paste clipboard content directly into the URL bar with a customizable keyboard shortcut. If the pasted content is a valid URL, it loads the page instantly; otherwise, it can perform a search using your chosen search engine. The search feature is off by default but easily toggled and configurable in settings, including changing the search URL or defaulting to the browser’s search engine.

Additionally, Paste and Go Key includes a handy toolbar button for quick access. While it offers language support through translations in Chinese Simplified, Italian, Portuguese, and Swedish, note that shortcut customization is limited in Firefox versions 57 to 59. Despite the extension’s small codebase (~15 kB), it delivers significant productivity benefits to streamline your web navigation experience.

Is Paste and Go Key Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Paste and Go Key requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
