YoSlash Extension

Most URLs are long, opaque, and unmemorable. YoSlash is a service for creating memorable URL aliases that are securely shared with your team. YoSlash increases productivity and reclaims clarity.

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

For example, if you create the link yo.yoslash.com/onboarding, then when this extension is installed, you can access the link by typing yo/onboarding in your address bar.

Ali Hajimirza (ID: 000000bf7f7be994) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/15/2022 This is an indispensable tool for any company. Top companies like Microsoft (where I used to work) and Google have similar URL shorteners that allow people to quickly create aliases which are then shared with their team members. These aliases make it very easy to find what you are looking for just from memory. I can't imagine working somewhere where this tool is not available
