## Description

CMS Backend Opener is a handy Chrome extension designed to simplify access to the backend login pages of various content management systems (CMS). By pressing the shortcut [Alt] + [y] or clicking the extension icon, users open a new tab or window that takes them directly to the backend login page of the CMS powering the current website. This tool supports popular CMSs including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Typo3, Contao, and more, enabling quick access without the need to manually navigate.

While the extension is efficient when websites specify their CMS with the "Generator" meta tag, it can also locate backend logins by other means if this meta tag isn’t present, though it might take a bit longer. It supports multiple languages including English, German, Russian, and French, making it accessible to a broad user base. For users who find value in this extension, donations are accepted to help maintain and enhance the tool's capabilities.
