Summary

Analyze keywords

It checks the following in the URL and adds the red banner:

"localhost"
"127.0.0.1"
"local."
".local"
"staging."
".stg"
"dev."
"test."
".test"

Let me know, if you want to add any other string that should match and show the red banner.

User reviews

I like the idea. Unfortunately, there are sites that have dev in them that this triggers on, like `dev.azure.com` for example. This means I have the banner popup in places it shouldn't be. Without any ability to customize the matching I had to uninstall. It's a cool idea though!

Extensão TOP, procurei bastante e não encontrei, quando achei aqui não acreditei de primeira, mas funciona perfeitamente para localhost com ou sem porta! Parabéns ao criador.
