Here's a "shotgun approach" suggestion... use two different browsers, one for online transactions and one for offline transactions. Simply don't have the Hatch extension installed in the one for offline transactions. Have one shortcut on the desktop for the browser handling offline transactions and one for the browser handling online transactions, each one pointing to the respective browser that handles it. Done.
Incidentally, while our consortium requires the use of Chrome for access to Evergreen, I have staff using Vivaldi for staff access. It's also compatible with Chrome extensions. You may want to consider it. Btw, I do the same type thing when it comes to our test web server... I modify my hosts file so that whiteplainslibrary.org points to our test server's address. Then in one browser, I have it set to using no proxy which in effect causes it to point to the test web server because of that hosts modification. Meanwhile, in my usual browser, I'm using a proxy which knows the address of the live web server, and so I can access both the test web server and the live one at the same time switching between those browsers.
