BigURL Pro: Enlarge and Display URLs for Easy Viewing
BigURL Pro is a helpful chrome extension designed for educators. It provides a convenient way to display an enlarged, high-contrast version of the URL at the top of any webpage. This is particularly useful for teachers who often struggle with students being able to see the browser's URL from the back of the class.
To use BigURL Pro, simply visit a webpage and click on the extension icon. The enlarged URL will appear at the top of the screen and will remain visible as you scroll. Clicking on the extension icon or the enlarged URL again will make it disappear.
One of the standout features of BigURL Pro is its compatibility with both HTTP and HTTPS, as well as the ability to properly display localhost and IP addresses. Additionally, it can also display search queries being passed in the URL.
Compared to the regular version of BigURL, BigURL Pro offers additional customization options. Users can modify the URL font size, highlight specific parts of the URL, and even add or remove URL fragments. This allows for a more streamlined and focused display, omitting unnecessary details and making it easier for students to understand.
If you come across a URL that the extension doesn't work with, the developer, Tyler Youngblood, encourages users to provide feedback. This helps in improving the extension's functionality and ensuring it works seamlessly with a wide range of URLs.
