Web Aliases Extension

Web Aliases allows you to create nicknames for your common web page and access them via the search bar.

Simply add a new alias and URL pair.
Type in your newly added alias into your browsers address bar and you will be redirected to your saved URL.

Using Web Aliases means you do not need to use your mouse to navigate to saved websites.

The CTRL + T chrome shortcut lets you open a new browser tab and simply type in your saved alias and you are the at your saved web address, no mouse touches needed.

Web aliases also provides shortcuts so aliases can be added solely through use of the keyboard.
