Server Switcher for Chrome

Install from Chrome Extensions Gallery

About

For years I've been using the excellent addon Server Switcher, which allows you to set up a development and production server of the same website, and switch between the same page either server with a single click. Upon switching to Chrome recently, I found I missed this addon so decided to write a version for Chrome.

At the moment, the Chrome addon only contains the basic functionality of the addon (which is all that I used). If there is enough demand, I may add further functionality to it.

Finally, the options page is shown below showing how this was configured
