Features & Capabilities

Web Alias is a lightweight, privacy-friendly extension that supercharges your browsing workflow. Stop digging through endless bookmark folders or relying on cluttered new-tab pages. With Web Alias, you can map your most-visited websites, specific repository branches, or long dashboards to short, memorable text aliases.

Once set up, just type z into your address bar, press the Spacebar or Tab, and type your alias to jump straight to your destination!

✨ Key Features

Lightning Fast Navigation: Type z in the address bar to instantly resolve and launch your aliases.
Quick Suggestions: See real-time dropdown suggestions as you type in the address bar.
Beautiful UI: Manage all your aliases in a clean, modern popup interface.
Dark & Light Modes: Fully supports your system's theme with a built-in toggle switch.
Import / Export: Easily backup your aliases to a JSON file or sync them seamlessly between Firefox and Chrome.
Keyboard Shortcuts: Use Ctrl+Shift+S (or Cmd+Shift+S on Mac) to quickly open the dashboard, and hit Ctrl+N to rapidly add a new alias.

🛡️ Privacy First Web Alias works entirely offline and locally on your machine. It requires minimal permissions, contains no analytics, and does not collect or transmit a single byte of your personal data.

How to use it:

Open the Web Alias dashboard from your toolbar.
Add a new alias (e.g., set the alias gh to point to https://github.com/my-profile).
Focus your browser's address bar, type z and hit the Spacebar.
Type gh and press Enter. Boom—you're there!
