Link Switcher door Vyacheslav Struchkov

Link Switcher lets you rewrite parts of URLs when clicking links on websites you choose.

It is useful for switching between production, staging, development, local, mirror, regional, or alternative versions of the same service. Instead of manually editing every URL, create a replacement rule once and use links normally.

• Replace domains, ports, paths, or other URL fragments
• Create multiple independent rules
• Enable or disable individual rules
• Apply each rule only on a website you specify
• Preserve regular clicks, middle-clicks, and opening links in new tabs
• Automatically preserve unfinished settings as drafts
• Request access only to websites explicitly approved by you
• Store all settings locally in your browser

Configure a rule to replace:

https://staging.example.com

with:

http://localhost:3000

When you click a matching link on the configured website, Link Switcher rewrites it before the browser opens it.


Link Switcher has no analytics, advertising, accounts, remote code, or external servers. It does not collect or transmit browsing history, website content, or personal information.

Rules are stored locally using the browser extension storage API. Website access is requested only after you create and save a rule for that website.
