Summary
HTTP Headers was written when the original HTTP Headers (HTTP Headers Live) extension sold out to malware injection and adverts. I decided it was time to write my own clean, ad-free, safe version that I didn't have to worry about.
Features:
- Light or Dark Theme
- Current tab's HTTP Headers
- Live HTTP Headers tab (+ a bunch of filters)
- Free and Open Source.
Permissions Information:
This extension requires the 'webRequest' feature to function and will show up when installing as 'read and change data on any website'. The permission allows reading of the request and response headers.
The 'tabs' permission is required for the FilterByTabs function of the Live stream.
