It doesn't work. I was trying to add sort of hostname entries for intranet sites. (Using it as a DNS)

here is some sample entry
yash-2.foo.com 10.2.3.4

Pretty much useless extension. Doesn't do what's advertised. Does not even look as the advertised image of it. Don't waste your time

Great extension - very useful for internet/intranet link problems.

Has gotten really slow lately though?

works wonderfully.
I tested a lookup loop, and it did in fact send the browser into an endless loop. I'd suggest adding some logic to warn the user about potential problems of this sort.

I also created two rules directing from the same host. Only the first rule was applied (makes sense). When I clicked to remove the second one, both got removed (due to same key, I guess).

I'd also add functionality to the icon, to have it highlighted on pages where it's being used, if such a thing is possible. To remind users that they have this extension installed, and that it's actively affecting the current tab.

All in all, a small, excellent extension.

Ändert die Requests per Search and Replace ab. Kein Verhalten wie beim Ändern der Hosts-Datei.

multi site host name rewriter should be done.

Simply perfect.

Update: Does not work when the target hostname gets reached via a redirect. From Google search results, for example.

Once you land, you need to hit refresh to get redirected.

Works great for me so far. Needed this to map some IPs when using work VPN.
