(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/13/2019 The best extension for rapid access to a chosen URL(s). Right click extension icon, click options, input the web address you want to instantly go to when you click the button. I use this everyday for years to check emails, etc. Better than a bookmark and takes up almost no screen space. Love it.

Mikey MoMo (ID: 000000b22184e58f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/18/2017 This is the worst of the bunch. Won't even open a window to allow typing in the URIs. What's the point?
