## Description

YoLinks is a human-readable link shortener.

YoLinks links are normally served out of yo.yolinks.app. However, this domain is too long. This is where the YoLinks extension comes in. This extension rewrites any URL that begins with yo/ such that yo/ is replaced with yo.yolinks.app/.

For example, if you create the link yo.yolinks.app/my-link, then when this extension is installed, you can access the link by typing yo/my-link in your address bar.
