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)

Instructions to allow write access to HOSTS file are included. VERY handy plugin, if switching ip hosts frequently.

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.
