Overview
PLEASE NOTE: If you're experiencing a problem, please DO NOT SUBMIT A REVIEW. Email me for a fast reply or submit a support ticket for a slow reply. -Description- Personally, I've always used Internet shortcut files for a variety of reasons. For example: 1. To passively share links to content via shared folders. 2. To supersede the temporary use of pinned tabs and bookmarks. 3. As portable links. 4. To accompany resources (installers with links to the websites, projects with links to assets, etc). However, I always found them so awkward to create, hence me creating this extension. -FAQ- Q: As Chrome manifest v2 is being depreciated in 2024, is this extension being updated to support v3? A: Yes, after quite a lot of work, I have successfully rewritten Save as Shortcut to support Chrome manifest v3 and its asynchronous service workers. Q: Why does this extension say that it reads my browsing history? A: I don't know. It does not.
