Summary

PLEASE NOTE: This extension is designed to work with the HttpWatch software version 11 - 14 on Windows (see www.httpwatch.com). It is not intended to be a stand-alone Chrome extension.

HttpWatch supports many additional features compared to the built-in DevTools network panel:

  • Supports multi-page debugging by grouping requests by page

  • Supports automatic recording and logging of network traffic in each Chrome tab without additional user intervention

  • Displays warnings about well know performance and security issues, e.g. ineffective cache settings

  • Advanced Find and Filter functions make it easier to locate requests or content

  • Automatically masks out passwords in POST form data so that they are not recorded in HWL or HAR files

  • Built in summaries of page level statistics, e.g. bytes downloaded, network round trips, etc

so bad
by 毛月 毛月, 2020-09-19

It works for me. ^_^. So I go back to say thanks. there is some miss understanding for other reviewers. It's not fair. because the extension and the software should work together to achieve the watch result. the extension is only the probe for the packect, and the software is the analyser and dashboard.
