AWS Extend Switch Roles

I'm totally in love! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! Did I say thank you? Exactly what I have needed for so long. This will save me so much time and headache.

Surely useful, but on a general note, a third-party browser plugin which has full access to your AWS console should make everybody at least a bit nervous.

(Don't get me wrong, the author is surely doing a great job and will hopefully ensure the plugin access remains firmly in his hands).

This is by far the most useful Chrome extension I use in my day-to-day work. It solves a huge problem with the native AWS console experience which (for some reason) only limits you to quick-switch between the last five roles. We have a dozen or more roles at any one time so being able to switch to any of them quickly is extremely helpful.
