Switch URL is a versatile Chrome extension designed to simplify navigating between URLs by allowing users to modify parts of a URL on the fly or quickly open new tabs with simple keyword commands. By typing "go" followed by a custom shortcut (e.g., "go web"), you can instantly access predefined URLs. The extension's settings enable you to create, manage, and customize multiple switches—each capable of handling up to five URLs. Additionally, you can choose how substitutions are applied, either all at once or individually, giving you control over how URL transformations occur. Whether replacing domain extensions like ".fr" with ".com" or facilitating speedy access to frequently visited sites, Switch URL streamlines your browsing experience.

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Switch url requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
