About Host Rewriter
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.
