Browser Settings Quick-Jump Shortcuts

WHAT IT DOES

Browser Settings Quick-Jump Shortcuts scans the current page for browser settings links, preferences pages, and configuration sections from common browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc.). It extracts setting page URLs, section names, and categories from settings pages and dashboards. The floating panel displays categorized quick-jump buttons to common settings sections including Privacy, Security, Extensions, Appearance, Downloads, Search Engine, and more. One-click navigation takes you directly to frequently used settings pages, with search/filter capability to find specific shortcuts. Custom shortcuts can be added for user-defined settings URLs, and collections can be exported/imported as JSON. Recently accessed settings are highlighted and tracked for quick reuse.

WHERE IT RUNS

Works on any browser settings page, including chrome://settings, about:preferences, edge://settings, brave://settings, and other browser configuration pages. The script intelligently detects the current browser type and loads the appropriate settings shortcuts. It also works on browser dashboards and settings portals. The tool is designed for Chromium-based browsers, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Opera.

HOW TO USE

The panel displays categorized settings shortcuts organized by category (General, Privacy, Security, Extensions, Appearance, Downloads, Search, Advanced). Use the search bar to filter shortcuts by name, category, or URL. Click any shortcut button to navigate directly to that settings page. Add custom shortcuts by entering a name and URL in the custom section. Recently accessed shortcuts appear at the top for quick reuse. Export your shortcut collection as JSON for backup, and import previously exported data to restore your layout. The panel automatically detects your browser type and loads the appropriate settings structure.

MECHANISM — BROWSER DETECTION WITH CATEGORIZED SETTINGS DATABASE

The script maintains a structured database of browser settings URLs organized by browser type and category. When the panel loads, it detects the current browser using user-agent string analysis. The database includes commonly used settings URLs for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave, with support for custom shortcut extensions. The script also scans the current settings page to detect additional settings links and categories, adding them to the available shortcuts. Recent shortcuts are tracked in local storage, and the search filter uses case-insensitive partial matching across titles, categories, and URLs. All shortcut data is stored locally for persistence.

THE PANEL

The floating panel is fully draggable and remembers its position per domain. Click the minimize button to collapse it to a small bubble, or press Escape to hide it. The panel automatically adjusts to different screen sizes and can be resized to show more content. All settings, including custom shortcuts and display preferences, are saved locally. The panel integrates smoothly with any page layout using the BGPanel framework, maintaining clean separation from page content.

PLEASE NOTE

This script requires the free BotGentz extension to run. It does not send any data to external servers; all shortcuts, recent history, and settings remain entirely local to your browser using GM_setValue. The script never reads password fields, hidden inputs, or file inputs. It stores only URLs, shortcut titles, categories, and recent access history. The browser detection uses user-agent string analysis and works for major browsers. Custom shortcuts should use valid browser settings URLs (chrome://, about:, edge://, brave://). Data persists across browser sessions and is isolated per browser profile.
