es | Muy buena, justo lo que necesitaba, me encontraba usando un chromebook y no podia modificar el archivo hosts, pero con esta extención me resulto comodo usar una ip de mi red local. |

en | Needs option to specify scheme such as "http://" instead of defaulting to "https://", which breaks a lot of dev setups. |

Действительно работает =) Перепробовал все их, это единственное, которое на сегодняшний день работает. Да ещё и по вкладкам работает. Одни вкладки на оригинал сайта, другие на тот же сайт на виртуальной машине – всё прекрасно работает. | |

不是我希望的能替代 /etc/hosts 的插件，他只是修改了请求的host，这实际上会造成各种异常情况，就想别的评论中说的一样。 | |

The extension is not working on Chrome, but runs very well on Firefox, is there something to make it work on google chrome? | |

It's already been said in comments here, but this does not do what it says. It rewrites the URL and replaces the domain with the IP you specify. This is absolutely no good for servers doing SNI! | |

PT-BR. Vou dar 5 estrelas pela criatividade, mas no mundo atual, em que HTTPS já se tornou o protocolo padrão de fato e as diversas proteções CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) também já estão bastante comuns, a extensão não tem mais valia. Recomendo o serviço SkipDNS, que não depende de extensão e funciona até mesmo em dispositivos móveis, sem necessidade de configuração prévia por parte das outras pessoas com quem você quiser compartilhar o link de pré-visualização. English. I'll give it 5 stars for creativity, but in today's world, where HTTPS has become the de facto standard protocol and the various CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) protections are also quite common, the extension has no added value. I recommend the SkipDNS service, which is extension-free and even works on mobile devices, with no prior setup required by the other people you want to share the preview link with. | |

什么鬼东西，发出去的请求中的host居然是ip地址？开发者有基本常识吗？ |
