Automatically redirect google service to default account
This extension is designed for users who work with multiple Google accounts and want to set a default account for these services, specifically for Google Meet.
Whether the primary Google account you are logged in to, this extension allows you to pick a default account to use for Google Meet, Gmail, Google Drive and Google Photos.
With this extension, you can easily switch between your personal and work accounts without annoying switching every time.
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.

- Really helpful, to replace another extension which Chrome has now (helpfully) broken. Would be nice to have some of the features from the other extension, like selecting an account rather than a number and adding more services. But given it's restored the most essential functionality, I'm relieved!

- This is great can you add google docs? When i go to this for example: https://docs.google.com/document/u/6/d/[random_string]/edit?pli=1 I need to change the "6" to my preferred user. the extension doesn't do it. thanks!
