Host name rewriter Extension

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.

Tony Bayart (ID: 000000c6a3275bb6) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/20/2023 Not working with payload (form post)

Madhusoodan Pataki (ID: 000000ee6f2f3efb) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/28/2021 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

klemn 02 (ID: 000000846e1c7754) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/06/2021 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

Iain McVey (ID: 000000da4829fc8b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/01/2020 Great extension - very useful for internet/intranet link problems. Has gotten really slow lately though?

Ethan Shalev (ID: 00000066f5b0d823) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/01/2019 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.
