Here is a screenshot of the URL Alias definition dialog in Slimjet, It is fast and robust like Chrome but more flexible, customizable and more powerful out of the box. It's also compatible with all the Chrome extensions. Slimjet is a free web browser forked from the Chromium open-source project and shares most of the features with Chrome. If you are a fan of Google Chrome, you might want to try Slimjet which provides built-in support for URL alias. A cumbersome way to achieve this in Chrome is add a custom search engine without parameter and use the keyword for the search engine as an alias as illustrated in this article. However, for Chrome users, there is no straight forward to define an alias for a URL. Firefox supports this using a similar concept called bookmark keyword. After the alias is defined, you can simply type the alias from the address box to reach the destination web site quickly. A good solution to this problem is to be able to create a short alias mapped to the original URL in the browser. However, the number of bookmarks you can put on the bookmark toolbar is quite limited. It's also painful to type them in full in the omnibox. Let’s say a service you subscribed to wanted to let you know about a security breach, then they would not be able to contact you by email (even though they may think that they did because the email will not bounce back to them).The URLs of many web sites are long and hard to remember. When you archive an alias, emails sent to this alias are ignored and no longer forwarded to you.ĭeleting an alias email address altogether is a dangerous endeavour since aliases are sometimes used as User IDs (which is a great practice to protect your accounts and your inbox, but it also means that, without these aliases, any communication relative to these accounts can't reach you). Įmails sent to your alias email addresses are forwarded to your personal inbox.
You can then unarchive the alias and bring it back to the original list (which will allow you to allow senders back in if you want to) by clicking on the unarchive icon. To see the archived alias, click on the “Archive folder” button in the sub-header, and a list of all the aliases that have been archived will be displayed. Click on the check box next to the alias you want to archive
