localhost

Convert the port after localhost to numbers

What is localhost?
The 'localhost' Chrome extension is a unique tool designed to simplify networking by converting port names into numbers. By typing 'localhost/' into your URL bar, you can input a port name to be converted into its numerical equivalent. This eliminates the need to remember specific numbers and makes networking more accessible. For instance, 'localhost/' followed by a 'port' redirects to http://localhost:7678. It's a convenient, time-saving extension for all.
