Need
The current front end currently allows selecting the explorer node to query, either from a predefined list, or by providing a custom URL. However, it assumes all these nodes are for Beam's mainnet, even though the same explorer node binaries can also be used for other networks such as testnet, dappnet, and soon also for any sidechain (such as warp or others).
It would thus be useful if the front end could indicate not only the URL, but the network currently explored (actually, from the point of view of the user, displaying the network is more important than displaying the node URL).
Proposal
Change the dropdown menu of the top banner so that it shows the network's name rather than the node URL. And when it is opened lists all the node URLs available for each network.
Example of networks & explorer nodes:
mainnet:
https://BeamSmart.net:8000/
https://explorer.0xmx.net/api/
https://explorer-api.beamprivacy.community/
dappnet:
https://BeamSmart.net:8001/
