The only problem then, is how to get the host file to match your desktop environment. With the ability to use a remote Chrome debugger from your desktop to a mobile device, you can use an emulator and still have your full Chrome debugging capabilities.

However, due to some cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) issues on my server, I had to serve my development environment from a changed hostfile that had a specific subdomain of my project. While working on a bug in one of my projects recently, I found an issue that I could only recreate on an Android device.
