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.
