## Description

Whenever using Google services, have you ever had to go into browser's url bar and manually change 'authuser' query param or even click your avatar to select correct account?

This extension fixes that UX flaw and automatically substitutes 'authuser' param so that you're always navigating in the right context. From your own bookmarks, history, links shared by colleagues - it just works.

Note: currently only works for GCP console.
