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.

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.
Its working been using to debug my WordPress website, Much better then editing hosts.
Doesn’t work, trying to change hostname from localhost to google.com
Ändert die Requests per Search and Replace ab. Kein Verhalten wie beim Ändern der Hosts-Datei.
multi site host name rewriter should be done.
Works great for me so far. Needed this to map some IPs when using work VPN.
It works, but it’s not complete if it doesn’t rewrite the domain= part of cookie response headers too.
