10 Hidden URLs to Help You Rule the Web

Bookmarking your best-loved webpages is a good way to save some precious time when surfing the Internet. The direct links quickly transfer you to the content you’d favored. However, the Internet hides more than we can see. Sometimes, the online recommendations that users get can be influenced by the websites they’ve surfed. Therefore, looking for quality, unbiased content becomes more challenging.

Finding the right URLs and using them properly can enhance your web surfing experience. Accessing the newest online features, trends, tools, or settings becomes easier if you possess the right background knowledge. Here are ten of the most practical hidden URLs that will help you rule the web!

1. ‘Watch Later’ YouTube URLs and Other Features

In case you didn’t know, YouTube automatically creates a special “watch later” playlist for you. In order to access this playlist, click on Library on the left side of the webpage, and choose Watch Later.
Even though it doesn’t require too much time to do all that, there’s another way to access this webpage even quicker: access the link that’s included in the title. Other useful YouTube URL features are YouTube Liked Videos or Subscriptions.

2. Regaining Access to Lost Spotify Playlists
