    Cross-platform and allows you to actually edit the file like a text editor so you can copy/paste. Other apps so frustrating in this regard.

    Hosts file are a useful redundancy when coupled with ad blockers like uBlock Origin and uMatrix - while debugging or 'Temporarily Allow All on this Site' with Noscript can open you up to underlying attacks or privacy intrusions.
