What was wrong with the extension? I have to open another window to see hosts, that not cool! Firefox extension is much better, this here sucks.

This is a large step backward from the hostadmin extension. You can't see contextually which IP the current domain is being resolved to because there is no icon next to the URL bar. It also requires more steps to get to or it hogs a space in my dock. 2 stars because it at least works.

The old way with an icon was waaaay more usable. Why convert a simple thing like this into an app? Just a degradation really.

I like being able to quickly enable and disable entries in my hosts file. I don't like that it hides the comments I write into my hosts file. Overall, it is a touch better than editing in Notepad++

Icon next to the URL bar is missing in the app. It was there in the extension, Which really helped to know the IP.
