What’s new in version 1.7.1?

                The plugin allows you to quickly open saved Salesforce orgs with built-in shortcuts to Home, Setup and Developer Console. You can also add additional custom shortcuts to other Salesforce URLs of your choice. 

In addition to that, to help you differentiate between different sandboxes, the plugin enables you to set a colored favicon for each one.

How to use the shortcuts after your already added a Salesforce org to it:
1) Open the extension using the "Alt + S" keyboard shortcut ("Option + S" on macOS)
2) Select your Salesforce Org with up and down arrows
3) Press "Control + 1" to open its Home page
3.a) use "Control + 2" to open Setup, or "Control + 3" to open Developer Console

How to change the favicon color:
1) Open the extension using the "Alt + S" keyboard shortcut ("Option + S" on macOS)
2) Click on the colored circle next to the name of the Salesforce Org for which you want to change the favicon color
3) Select a new color
4) Next time you open that org the favicon will be of the color you selected

You can change the default "Alt + S" shortcut by opening the following URL in your browser: chrome://extensions/shortcuts

The plugin is 100% safe and private, however, it requires certain permissions to be able to know when you have opened a Salesforce URL so that it can set a favicon for it. If you still have privacy concerns, you can use a version of this plugin that doesn't require any permissions, but it comes without the colored favicons: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/salesforce-shortcuts/cfkgcmoiljifcbaaofinpfjgobhmnopk
