Description

Host Rewriter – Change URL Hostnames with One Click Why install:  · Streamline your dev workflow by replacing hosts without copy/paste  · Test local, staging and production environments seamlessly  · Keep your bookmarks and tabs uncluttered How it works:  1. Define From→To origin mappings (include http:// or https:// plus optional port)  2. Save and let Chrome Sync persist your list  3. Browse to any matching “From” origin  4. Right‑click → “Replace host →” and select a mapping  5. Instantly reload the page on your “To” origin, preserving path, query and hash Setup & usage:  1. Click the extension icon (or puzzle‑piece) → Host Rewriter  2. Click “➕ Add Mapping” and enter your From and To origins  3. Click “💾 Save” to activate your mappings  4. Navigate to any page under a From origin and right‑click to replace When the context menu appears:  · The “Replace host →” parent item only shows on URLs that exactly match one of your From origins  · Submenu entries correspond one‑to‑one with your saved mappings  · No menu is shown on non‑matching hosts What to expect:  · Instant, seamless navigation to target environments  · Mappings synced across any Chrome instance you’re signed in to  · A lightweight extension with minimal permissions (contextMenus, storage, tabs) and no external tracking.
