Description from store
Extension for rewriting of host names when accessing a webpage. Will rewrite the host name regardless of method of access, both clicking a link and writing URL will work.
Usage example: Attempts to reach 'example.com/something' will be redirected to 'mydomain.com/something'.
A sub domain, 'sub.example.com', will not be rewritten if a rule for 'example.com' is present. A specific rule for 'sub.example.com' needs to be added.
The extension needs to be configured from the extension button or options page before starting to work.

- 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.

- 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.

- It works, but it's not complete if it doesn't rewrite the domain= part of cookie response headers too.
