## Description

URL Forge lets you inspect, modify, and relaunch URLs without ever touching the address bar.
Open the popup on any tab and you'll see the current URL broken down into editable query parameters — change values, delete keys, or add new ones on the fly. Switch to the Find & Replace tab to do regex or plain-text substitutions anywhere in the URL. A live preview updates as you type so you always know exactly what you're about to open.
Save your most-used modifications as named rules and organize them by category. Rules can be reordered by drag and drop, exported as JSON for backup or sharing, and re-imported via paste. Applying a saved rule opens the modified URL in a new tab instantly.

Features:
- Visual query parameter editor — edit, add, and delete params in a table
- Find & Replace with plain text or full regex support
- Live URL preview before opening
- Saved rules with categories, drag-to-reorder, and bulk export/import
- Copy modified URL to clipboard or open in a new tab
- Dark and light theme with system preference detection
