How to find the account id from URL?
1. Google Meet
https://meet.google.com/xxx-xxx-xxx?authuser=1
ID = 1
2. Google Photo
https://photos.google.com/u/3/
ID = 3
3. Gmail
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/
ID = 0
4. Google Drive
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/
ID = 2
!!Attention!!
This extension only redirect to default account when url DOES NOT specify a user id.
For example:
When default Google Photo account id is 3
https://photos.google.com/ -> redirect to -> https://photos.google.com/u/3/
If you specify a account id 4, for example:
https://photos.google.com/u/4/
Then extension will avoid to redirect to account 3, let you can use account 4 to use Google Photo.
Other Google services are the same behavior.
