Use it to manage hosts files for blocking ads on my whole computer. Can group them and disable easily for those websites/apps that have that super anti-adblocker going on.

I love it! By far the cleanest and easiest way to manage my hosts. It works perfectly for me and I just can't go back to managing these text files by hand

Wow on first launch it wipes out your hosts file so bad if you had a ton of hosts already. Could have pre-warned it would wipe the hosts file first.
