Description from store This extension allows you to flag specified websites by adding a colored label depending on the URL configuration. It also supports regular expression (including wildcards), color picker, and positioning preferences. When it comes to IT projects, it is very common having multiple environments: dev, QA, stage, and production. All those environments' interfaces are mostly identical, and as a consequence, mistakes may happen very often. Who had never faced the situation when we intended to do a "little test" thinking it was doing in "dev" and suddenly realized that was in the production environment, and ended up applying a configuration in the wrong environment? After all, screw-ups are easy to happen because the look and feel of those sites are the same except by the discreet URL in the browser address bar. That is when the Environment Marker Extension comes into play. The Environment Marker is a free and open-source Chrome extension that allows you to configure the URLs of your project's environments and assign a colored "label" on the corner of the browser window, identifying the environment for you. No more screw-ups in the production environment! Available functionalities: - Color picker to configure label color. - Support regular expressions in the URL address (regexp). - Support to choose the position of the label: Top-right, Top-left, Bottom-right, Bottom-left. - Support "Quick Config" mode: an easy and fast way to set it up. - Export and Import feature. How to use: - After installing, access Bowser Configurations > More Tools > Extensions OR Click on the red pencil on the right side of the address bar. - Click on the Options menu, over the Environment Marker section. - Configure your Environments and click on the Save button. Latest release notes v1.1: NOTICE: Before updating make sure that you have a backup from your configuration. You can export your configuration using the "Export" functionality under Bowser Configurations > More Tools > Extensions and go to the extension "Options" menu. - Introduced a new way to import a file hosted by a server. You can choose whether you want to automatically import the file in case of any changes occur. Environment Marker is OpenSource and contributions are welcome! https://github.com/geovanneb/envmarker

(2023-08-02) Kevin Clark: Great add-in. I've put in a feature request for a "mouse over transparency" feature, which would solve the only thing I wish it did.
(2023-04-13) Jay Genaza: Lifesaver. Would be nice if it changed the tab color too!
(2022-12-27) Игорь Александрович: Замечательное расширение. Не думал что найду то, что мне нужно)
(2022-11-10) Jan Pippal: Exactly what I was looking for. Love you man. I only wish it could be sized up.
(2022-11-02) Mahesh Wagh: Very useful extension!
(2022-10-13) Suzy Johnson: simple and useful
(2022-05-06) Tomáš K: Very useful!
(2022-03-31) Bruno Silva: Thanks for this extension, it's very helpful! One small suggestion: it would be nice if the "hide label" action could keep the state between page refreshes. That would be really useful, for example, when checking pages on small screen sizes, where the label can really get on the way, and hiding it after every page refresh is a bit annoying.
(2021-04-30) Eric Julien: Really nice, but add transparency to able to see button below banner.
(2021-02-22) Robert Hawke: very nicely done! only issue i have is that no matter what corner i place it in, at some times it blocks what I should see. It would be nice to have a transparency option in the settings. Or a way to temporarily hide it by clicking on it.
(2020-08-10) Bruno da Silva Bertolani: Simple and useful
(2020-07-20) Eric Kinney: I like how it makes it very obvious. I wish it could work based on IP address instead of URL - our production and dev is always the same URL, but we manipulate which PROD/DEV by adjusting the hosts file. We need a tool like Environment Marker to help us know which site we are on at all times but it needs to be based on IP address, not restricted to URL only
(2020-07-07) Paulo Roberto Beccaro: Total Lifesaver! There's no more need to quadruple check the URL before submitting something in Swagger.
(2020-06-25) Chrisse Gannon Carothers: Thank you for saving me from countless "Did I make that change in QA or Dev?" thoughts in my head!
(2020-01-17) Alfeu Lucas: Simple and powerful! It just works! No more screwing up with environments :)
(2019-12-19) Ronaldo Figueiredo: I really enjoyed it. It prevents us from making silly mistakes among the environments. Our DEV team is installing on their machines !!! I would like to be able to customize the font size to allow me to see up to 2 lines. The reason is that sometimes we need to display the "Project´s name + Environment" . Anyway, my friend, congrats and tks a lot!!!
(2019-12-12) Richard Campbell: simple, works, very nice
(2019-11-13) Ken: Simple but Extremely Effective! I know this is going to be one of my favorite extensions and will be one that I reinstall right away, whenever I am setting up a new environment!
(2019-04-29) Sharad Khanna: Great idea and I really like the easy identification marker that shows up. One problem for me at least - was that I couldn't access controls under it. I was hoping there could be option to move it around the screen - like different corners or even the sides..
(2019-03-15) Very helpful. Avoid screw ups with this extension.
(2019-02-18) Ruben Chavez: Super helpful for our dev team. Works like a charm. No more special code needed when cloning environments.
(2018-11-26) Roberto Barrios: Very easy to use and setup. Would love to get more customization options (change type of ribbon, placement, text type, hide on mouse hover, etc).
(2018-05-09) Manon L: Fonctionne bien mais j'avais besoin de cette application également pour détecter les différentes IP. Elle ne fonctionne que par nom de domaine malheureusement.
(2017-09-13) Great idea!
(2017-06-21) Cherie Cheong: Muito show de bola! Obrigada Geovanne!
(2017-06-21) Lucas Silva: Really useful! Thank you Geovanne for that!
(2017-06-14) Jon Barson: Does what it says on the label. Thanks Geovanne!
(2017-06-06) Andre Ogura Dantas: The italian monster attacks again
(2017-03-04) Rodrigo Proenca: Very helpful!
(2017-02-16) Adriano De Palma: very helpful, no mistakes on production ;-)

(2016-04-26) Graziele Cristina: Excelente, era tudo o que eu precisava para diferenciar os ambientes durante os meus testes!
(2015-12-02) Sarah Rodrigues: Top!! Ajuda a não cometer erros em ambientes errados.

(2015-11-27) Thiago Rodrigues: Muito bom!! Facilita muito pra quem precisa trabalhar com vários ambientes ao mesmo tempo! Parabéns!
(2015-11-27) Carlos Eduardo Papacidero: Must have extension if you work with multiple environments at same time. The labels really helps you prevent mistakes.
(2015-11-27) Geovanne Borges Bertonha: :)
(2015-11-27) Diego Ferreira de Melo: Muito bom!!! Me ajudou muito. Esse app aumentou muito a produtividade e reduziu os erros gerados!

(2022-12-08, v:1.1) Where are the settings stored
Hello, Great and easy to use tool. We are pushing the extension by group policy. I was wondering where the user options (URLS and colors) are stored? register? This so we could push the settings to all our users. I've read that latest version gives the ability to push settings through a server URL, but then we still would have to set this URL for each user. Thanks in advance

Where can your full privacy policy documentation be found?
(2021-01-04, v:1.0.4) Igor Adamović: Push configuration
Is it possible to push configuration to all Chrome users (Google workspace) in same domain?
(2020-09-14, v:1.0.4) Boris Bashkatov: max number of markers
Hello dear Geovanne Borges Bertonha Can't add more than 67 marker is it an issue or just program limitation?
(2020-05-28, v:1.0.4) evoup yin: adjust font size support
hello,this tool is really good!A little issue,could you developer font adjust functionality,because if I write large amount of letters, it`s out of the screen. Thank!
(2020-05-27, v:1.0.4) Minor Alvarez Gomez: Great Tool, just add some extra settings
Hi ! I love this addon! , can you please add a setting to make the ribbon a little bit more transparent? sometimes I cannot read things below the ribbon. Besides, maybe it would be good to adjust the ribbon's size/width best regards
(2020-03-31, v:1.0.4) Neviton Andre Araujo: Suggestion for this Nice Extension
It only checks the domain, but it would be nice if it could check the whole url againt the regex for instance. I would like to have different markers not only between different domains, but for different paths also.
(2020-03-30, v:1.0.4) Marius Koch: Size of marker
It would be nice to be able to adjust the size of the marker in the configuration
(2019-10-24, v:1.0.3) Andy Horvath: regular expression help
I am trying to use regular expressions but it doesn't seem to be working. For example, regex: *news.yahoo.com/* works exactly as expected. However regex: *news.yahoo.com/us/* does not flag news.yahoo.com/us or any page underneath it. I am using a 3rd party tool for work, and need to be able to use expressions to flag environments in a similar way.
(2019-10-11, v:1.0.3) Tom Jakobsen: Regex
Hi, I really like your extension and try use it with GCP URL but have a hard time figuring out the regex I should use. Here is an example of my QA environment: URL https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam?hl=da&project=little-air-qa&folder=&organizationId= I try with regex:.*little-air-qa.* but it wont work for me - can you please give example with regex?

(2019-02-24, v:1.0.2) URL definitions are gone after last upgrade
quite a few people in office are using this extension following the version upgrade on Feb 14, 2019 we all lost the URL definitions any idea ?
(2019-02-04, v:1.0.1) André Luis Tosato da Cruz: Wildcard support
It would be very useful if we could use wildcards in the urls :)
(2018-12-10, v:1.0.1) Me: Does not work on frames
Hi It looks like the extension does not work on frames. Perhaps each frame should get the ribbon? Colin
(2018-03-26, v:1.0.1) David Webster: Issue with Frameset without Body Tag
Really promising extension. There are a lot of good uses for this. I am trying to use this with a third party tool who has a head tag and then goes into a frameset. The environment marker div goes into the frameset and isn't shown. When I pull the div out of the frameset using developer tools I can see the environment marker.
(2017-06-14, v:1.0.1) Michael Brawn: Add Wildcards
Being able to use regex or a simple * for wildcards on domains / subdomains would be really valuable.
(2017-06-07, v:1.0.1) Kristi Wegener: Moving ribbon
It would be super helpful if, in the configuration, you could specify which side of the page you want the ribbon overlay. When it is in it's current location on the upper right hand corner of the screen, it blocks a drop down on some of my environments. Other than that, this extension is awesome! Love how easy it is to configure.
