Я нашел это расширение, написав в google: — chrome extension http headers. Это расширение делает ровно то, что я от него ожидал.

at first I couldn't get it to show in the latest version of Chrome. What I did to resolve that was go to uninstall it from this page and that makes the icon show in the toolbar. I right clicked on that icon and said pin. Now it shows all the time. Works perfect for my needs which are simple.
