# The Browser Extension of Slash
Slash provides a browser extension to help you use your shortcuts in the search bar to go to the corresponding URL.
## How to use
### Install the extension
For Chromuim based browsers, you can install the extension from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/slash/ebaiehmkammnacjadffpicipfckgeobg).
For Firefox, you can install the extension from the [Firefox Add-ons](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/your-slash/).
### Prerequisites

### Use your shortcuts in the search bar
You can use your shortcuts in the search bar of your browser. For example, if you have a shortcut named `gh` for [GitHub](https://github.com), you can type `s/gh` in the search bar and press `Enter` to go to [GitHub](https://github.com).
