## Description

<strong>Env Switcher</strong> lets you jump between your Dev, UAT, Staging and Prod environments in one click — without hand-editing URLs. It swaps the current tab's domain to the environment you pick and keeps you on the <em>same</em> page: path, query string and #hash are all preserved.

<strong>Features</strong>
- One-click switching between a project's environments, from the toolbar popup or <code>Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + E</code>.
- Automatic project detection — the popup recognises which environment the active tab belongs to by its domain.
- Path-prefix rewriting for apps served under different base paths (e.g. <code>/v2</code> → <code>/</code>).
- Toolbar badge showing the current environment (PROD, UAT, …) in its own colour.
- Production guard — mark risky environments to get a draggable on-page warning card and an optional confirm-before-switch prompt.
- Manage unlimited projects and environments, pick colours and emoji, and import/export your config as JSON.
- Settings sync across your devices. No account, no tracking — your configuration never leaves your browser.
