## Description

Please note that this extension is useful for web developers only. It is also available on the Chrome Store and helps keep your website information at your fingertips.

As you browse, Web Developer Sidekick recognizes website environments and displays data such as credentials, IP address, and database connections. After installing and configuring per-site rules, visiting a site can show an environment badge and a multi-tab popup with the stored details. You can extend the popup with new tabs and customize addon behavior. Be careful with production credentials, since anyone with browser access could see them. Documentation is available for configuration details.
