Allows Url redirects / Url rewrites using text replace.

For example

If we set up rule "bbc.co.uk" > "abc.co.uk"

any occourence of bbc.co.uk will be replaced by abc.co.uk as shown below:

http://bbc.co.uk > http://abc.co.uk

http://abbc.co.uk > http://aabc.co.uk

Great for switching in development scripts for live scripts or switching between minified and development versions of frameworks such as jQuery, mootools etc.

Was working fine for several years, then suddenly it appears to have lost all my redirects. When trying to restore them involving links with "https://" it removes the colon : and produces an usable URL, so as far as I can tell it's now useless to me. Still wish Chrome would just allow you to set up shortcuts to type into the URL bar to go to specific websites; this is a ridiculously clunky way around the issue.

Works beautifully, unlike Redirector (too clunky and convoluted). No hard, challenging manuals. Very straightforward. Well, but very well done.

Extension safety

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.

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

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Switcheroo Redirector may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
