# Any Chain Mode

In PolkaGate, you have the option to switch your account's chain to "Any Chain" mode. Some websites, like Polkadot.js apps, only display user accounts if they are set to the same chain the app is currently on. Therefore, when you switch chains on the app, you also need to switch it on the extension for the account to be visible in the app. To simplify this process, the PolkaGate extension offers an "Any Chain" mode, allowing you to set your account to this mode and eliminate the need to switch chains on the extension each time you switch chains on the app.

To enable "Any Chain" mode, follow these steps:

1. Go to the account settings in extension mode.
2. Open the chain drop-down menu.
3. Select the first option, which is "Allow use on any chain," as shown below.
