## Description

**Environment Marker** is a versatile Chrome extension that lets you visually differentiate web pages by adding color-coded ribbons based on URL matching. Easily configure ribbons by specifying full or partial URLs, including support for RegExp patterns, enabling clear environment identification such as development, QA, or production sites.

Customize ribbon positions (top/bottom corners), sizes (from extra small to extra large), and labels to suit your needs. Additional features include multilingual support (English, Spanish, German, French, Simplified Chinese), a reusable color swatch of recently used colors, a tab counter that indicates active tab numbers with color cues, font selection from Google Fonts for ribbons, and even the ability to add colored markers to favicons. Import and export your ribbon configurations to maintain consistency across devices. Environment Marker enhances browsing clarity and workflow efficiency by visually tagging environments and sites distinctly.
