Nadia I (ID: 000000a938018aa3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/07/2023 Really easy to use. I stopped using my Chrome bookmarks and created R3BL shortlinks for all my bookmarks instead. This way I don't have to use a mouse. Btw, shortcut to invoke the R3BL shortlink is "Alt" + "l" (lower case L). R3BL is a company based in San Luis Obispo (https://r3bl.com/)
