Chrome recently turned off the Domain Switcher extension I have been using for years - which is super lame. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/domain-switcher/lbehdhpgigdlinfkidifkbhjnaglfojc There are a lot of alternative extensions but most of those have also been disabled by Chrome. This Neapolitan Domain Switcher is one of two I found that were still usable. Neapolitan Domain Switcher is slick and refined but lacks in options, is futzy in configuration and doesn't like certain domain structures. 1. This extension only allows for three domains, hard-labeled as "Development", "Staging" and "Production", in that order. I have six different domains to switch between with more than one of each of the labeled options. I see no way of adding additional domains/servers. 2. It took me several tries to enter a domain that the extensions recognized. For instance, the extension doesn't like a slash "/" after a domain extension (ie. www.google.com/) - it just states "No matching environment" when on a page without the slash. 3. Similar to the previous quirk, the extension cannot resolve two similar domains. For instance, when switching from www.google.com (set as "Production") to www.google.com/search/ (set as "Development"), the extension thinks it's still in Production even though it successfully changes the domain to www.google.com/search/ and at that point it won't allow to switch back to the actual production domain of www.google.com. So, while this extension is pretty, it doesn't perform the way I need. Until I find something better, I will instead use The Switcher[Change Domains] (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/the-switcherchange-domain/ibnjhiipcjlebggficnjfanodgpabpcm) which is much less refined but allows for seemingly unlimited domains in each project and simply and reliably changes the domain just like the original Domain Switcher extension.
