Reviews of blitz full screen url launcher:
how can i use it?, i download the extension and activate it on but when i'm going in full screen mode. i cannot any sign to type the URL
Very nice. The launcher is just what I was looking for - it can open both urls and google searches if the query is not a url. But it's not a good tab switcher extension. It allows to almost never quit fullscreen mode )).
Thanks! This is exactly what i needed for PWA when you go to page that says 404 or similar and there is no homepage_button you are stuck but with this extension I can open homepage easily without closing and opening the whole window again
