You could just update your hosts file manually but what a hassle.
It's so cool and oldschool, though!
All the COOL kids used to share the cool kid hosts files back before DNS really caught on, and at this rate, we're going back to old-timey internets of yore where we do this again!
nice. post your hosts file! hint... take the hastags out or poal bolds it all. no clue how to get the black box with green type to go away. Nothing in mine hahahah

This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one space.
Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
For example:
102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost
PS: Lel, the poundsigns that comment out lines made my other reply look more insane than it might have otherwise. I LIKE IT!
Additionally, you've still got the right idea. I need to finish reading things before unleashing drunken silliness... OR DO I?!
It mentions microsoft. Your hostfile is faggy and riddled with AIDS and I got faggier and / or dumber just looking at it!!!
cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
OOPS I REDACTED THE DOXXY STUFF!
The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
It is. But I am seeing some websites moving to non google or cabal platforms.
