BigURL Extension
There is also a paid version of BigURL called BigURL Pro that provides extra features.
With BigURL Pro you gain the ability to modify the URL font size, as well as highlight and add/remove URL fragments. So instead of displaying \"http://some-url.com/?searchQuery\" you can opt to hide the http protocol and search query and simply display \"some-url.com\". This makes the URL shorter and thus easier for students to read.
