Download

HTTP-TRACKER is a comprehensive Chrome extension that enables users to monitor and analyze all HTTP traffic across browser tabs. It offers real-time inspection of request and response headers, cookies, and form data with powerful filtering options to capture, exclude, or block specific requests based on URL patterns.

Key features include asynchronous, non-blocking network tracking with minimal performance impact, the ability to add or modify request headers before sending, and deletion of cookies for selected domains. The extension supports request-response pairing, session comparison (including incognito), and masking sensitive form data for enhanced security. Users benefit from an intuitive single-instance interface accessible via a keyboard shortcut, tooltip guidance, and high-speed filtering even with large datasets. HTTP-TRACKER prioritizes user privacy by never transmitting browsing data externally, making it an indispensable tool for web developers, testers, and privacy-conscious users alike.

Pros

Extremely useful tool for capturing and tracking HTTP requests and responses.
Provides more detailed and better information than the default Chrome developer tools networking tab.
Includes flexible filtering options, enabling users to track specific URLs or request types.
Supports viewing POST request data and multiple requests from different tabs/windows in one place.
Easy to use and greatly simplifies development and debugging tasks.

Cons

Lacks support for dark mode, which some users wish for.
Does not currently provide export functionality for captured data.
No support for regex filtering in URL tracking, limiting filtering options for some users.
Missing response data details in captured HTTP traffic.
Inability to track multiple URLs simultaneously in a straightforward way, leading to user frustration.
