URL Decoder Extension

URL Decoder is a simple yet powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience. This handy tool allows you to decode URL-encoded strings, a common encoding scheme used in web addresses, directly from your browser.

Here's how it works: When you enter a URL into the tool, it automatically decodes any URL-encoded characters into a more human-readable format using UTF-8 encoding. The decoded URL is then immediately copied to your clipboard for ease of use, and you receive an alert to confirm this action.

But that's not all. URL Decoder also includes a history feature, allowing you to revisit any URLs you've decoded in the past. With a single click, you can view a list of all previously entered URLs and their corresponding decoded outputs.

Whether you're a developer who frequently works with URLs, or just someone who wants to understand what those strange characters in your address bar mean, URL Decoder is a handy tool to have at your disposal.
