Easily switches a website between development and production webservers

Server Switcher allows you to switch between pages on a production website and a development version with a single click. If you develop websites and frequently find yourself wanting to switch to the development/production version of the page you're on, this addon is for you.

It is a port of the excellent Server Switcher addon for Firefox, which I had used for a long time before switching to Chrome. The Firefox addon can be found at http://hermann.czedik.net/projekte/switcher/

Note about multiple servers - I've had a number of requests in the reviews and bad reviews because I only support two servers per profile. I have no plans to change this - my extension is for a quick switch between live/dev. Adding more servers requires either a dropdown (2 clicks) or multiple icons, neither of which are not what I intended. If you need support for multiple servers per profile, I suggest you try multiswitch, rather than leaving a bad review saying that my extension doesn't do what it's not intended to do!

Great idea, but useless since it only allows two domains in every profile.

1. limited to only two URLs
2. doesn't work with URLs where the domain name contains numbers

Thanks, Richard! I was in the same boat as you. I hope you'll give this extension a nice little update soon considering it's been a couple years. :)

Excellent extension. Thank you!

On the note of localhost and similar addresses, those reviews were made a long time ago and this extension does work with addresses like that.
