Plugin for redirecting URLs

Switchyroo: URL Redirect Chrome Extension

Switchyroo is a developer tool for redirecting HTTP requests in Google Chrome. It allows you to easily specify a URL or part of a URL to search for and replace, effectively redirecting the browser's web traffic. It is a useful plugin for debugging production sites, as it enables loading a local copy of the remote code. With a clean and simple UI in a popup, Switchyroo shows which redirect URLs were executed after opening.
