## Description

If you use multiple Google accounts, you know the pain of constantly being signed into the wrong one. Google Account Switcher fixes this by automatically adding the correct <code>authuser</code> parameter to Google URLs, so you always land on the right account.

<strong>Features:</strong>
<ul><li><strong>One-click account import</strong> — Pull your signed-in Google accounts directly from your browser session.</li><li><strong>Default account</strong> — Set a global default that applies across all Google services.</li><li><strong>Per-service overrides</strong> — Use your work account for Gmail and Cloud Console, your personal account for YouTube and Photos, or any combination you need.</li><li><strong>Global on/off toggle</strong> — Quickly disable redirects without losing your configuration.</li><li><strong>Lightweight</strong> — No external requests, no tracking, no background overhead. All settings are stored locally.</li></ul>
<strong>Supported services:</strong> Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Meet, Chat, Cloud Console, Maps, Photos, Contacts, Keep, Groups, and more.

<strong>How it works:</strong> When you navigate to a Google service without an account already specified in the URL, the extension injects the <code>authuser</code> parameter for your preferred account. If you've manually switched accounts or the URL already specifies one, the extension stays out of the way.

<strong>Privacy:</strong> This extension stores your configuration locally and makes no external network requests. Your account information never leaves your browser.
