Just like NE debug said, it does not show whatever is on screenshot. When I installed it into my browser it just displays a popup that allows to enter one pattern and mock for it. Nothing else except save/cancel and disable buttons, I could not find UI shown on screenshots in the Chrome Dev Tools. And it seems to not working, I could not get a single request mocked.

Mimic saved countless dev hours of me and my team. some of feature that like loved 1. import/export mock, helped my team to preview during code reviews. 2. logs tab helped me to quickly mock (just set the content-type header currently and it will work then) looking forward for 1. swagger 2 or openAPI 3 support. 2. import/export using HAR file which is an standard way to share request/response logs.
