Add-on summary

Reach frequently used web links faster by using pre-set, easy-to-remember shortcuts instead of typing out the full URL.

Sometimes typing a URL is faster than opening a bookmark. ⚡️Onlyshortcurs extension is built for people who often access some websites this way. The extension makes it even quicker, more reliable & predictable.

⭐️ How it works

  1. Set the shortcut and the link it should open (like "e" = example.com);
  2. Type the shortcut into the browser search bar and hit ↵Enter;
  3. Instead of your search engine page, the extension opens the page you defined.

✅ Extension RUNS LOCALLY on your device. No data/request is ever sent or received.

Note: to achieve a natural feel, and due to technical limitations, the search results page actually opens. Then the extension reads your search request. If it matches one of the shortcuts, the page gets immediately replaced with the set page. This is why the extension requests access to your search engine page.

User reviews

Simple extension with a lot of promise. This helps fill the feature gap from when I was using Firefox. I would love the ability to add parameters in the url, but I am greatly pleased to have this functionality back.
