What I'd like to see, but haven't yet, is a way to teach a browser extension about my environments, what they are named and what their URL patterns are such that I can get a border color-indicator of "hey, you're in prod!" and have a quick switcher to view the same page I'm on now, but in a different environment (this page looks weird in test, was it already like that on prod, wonder if I can debug in my local dev) -- and export this configuration to share with newbs.

Firefox's container tabs can do the colour coding if you're environments are on different domains. What you describe would indeed be useful though.

  Does a sub domain count as a different domain?

    It can do.

You could try Firefox tab containers, though I don't know if you can share them with others.

Might not be what your looking for, but what about something like stylebot to give your production sites a red border?

We do the color coding in the web applications themselves, usually through the background color. There used to be a "Domain Switcher" extension for Firefox, but it doesn't seem to work in a post-Quantum world. Chrome has such a addon: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/domain-switcher/lbehdhpgigdlinfkidifkbhjnaglfojc?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/domain-switcher/lb...

Stylus, a CSS manager, caan apply arbitrary stlys (sa, border or overlay) based on domains, subdomains, specific URLs, or regexes. An example of an overlay, though not aimed at environments specifically: https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/ASRaMF5xcSW https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/ASRaMF5x... https://pastebin.com/raw/eFQrTJaY https://pastebin.com/raw/eFQrTJaY

You could add the styles to your profile's userStyle or userChrome files.
