As an engineer, I had this installed for years and never actually used it. It has a lot of features that I never use, and lacks the one feature that I need a lot: the ability to select which variations I'm in. So, I'm finally just uninstalling this extension. There's another extension in the Chrome Web Store with twice as many users that *does* allow you to easily choose your variation, so I use it instead. I won't name it since I'm not here to advertise for it, but I hate having to use a 3rd-party extension and will reinstall this official one instead in the event that they implement a way to easily change between variations.

This is hugely helpful for developing our AB Tests. 1. JS console logs that include active Pages, A/B tests and Personalization campaigns you're in. 2. Use a non-cached version of the snippet to always fetch the latest data so you don't have to wait for a snippet refresh with changes when editing/QA'ing. 3. Easy way to add/remove a test cookie 4. Can swap snippets out or inject one on a page. Could be useful as you pitch new clients or work out of different demo accounts.
