- (2013-12-31) san kumar: wonderful extension. here is a suggestion though.. when changing the host, it would be great if you can call "chrome.browsingData.removeCache" to clear the cache. maybe as a setting? great extension nonetheless! :) p.s. also if the groups can be on the top instead of bottom (right now i have to scroll all the way)

- (2013-05-05) Dustin Bolton: Seems to work just fine for me on Mac OS X. I did have to modify permissions on my HOSTS file but the plugin instructed me the command to enter to do so. Allows for rapidly enabling/disabling individual HOSTS entries or manually editing the entire file in-browser. Really simple and easy to use.
