Saar Machtinger (ID: 00000020d2c6d6e3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/03/2022 Love this !! But, recently, SF changed the url of sandboxes. Which now breaks the recognition of sandboxes. Please fix it. Sandbox urls now have : whatevernameforthesandboxyougave.sandbox.lightning.force.com added the 'sandbox' between the given sandbox name, and the lightning.force.com url

Grzegorz Kadziński (ID: 000000e023f627f8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/19/2020 Needs a little configuration on the start, but after that works great.

Jenni Killmer (ID: 0000007422672cb7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/28/2020 This is an absolute essential for me. I first started using it when I was a consultant, and would occasionally be working in multiple clients' orgs at once. Now, as part of an in-house team, I use it to help me manage between production, full sandboxes, and dev sandboxes. I use it combined with another extension which allows me to change the color of the SF icon on the tab. The header color matches the icon color, giving me an easy indicator of which org or sandbox that tab is in.
