Ray Georges (ID: 000000d2400f199d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/30/2014 Undoubtedly the most useful extension I've ever downloaded. I've seen my productivity increase by 2000% ever since I downloaded this plugin. Long gone are the days of remembering pesky internal link URL's associated with my multi environment setup at work. Now I can dedicate the 15 seconds I save each day to furthering my pursuits in the noble arts of spice gardening, knitting, basket weaving, and conjuring daemons.
