xHeader
Modify request and response headers. No ads, no malware.

Features & Capabilities

Provides the features of the infamous ModHeader extension, but without any malware :D.

Header editing

  • Set, append, or remove headers on both requests and responses
  • Enable or disable any single header without deleting it
  • Live count of active headers on the toolbar badge

Profiles

  • Unlimited independent header sets, each with its own name and colour
  • All enabled profiles apply at once, so you can layer an auth-token profile over a feature-flag profile
  • Duplicate, rename, recolour, and delete from the profile menu

URL filtering

  • URL contains — plain substring match
  • URL matches regex — full regular expression
  • Exclude domains — skip named domains and their subdomains
  • Resource types — restrict to xmlhttprequest, main_frame, script, and so on
  • Leave filters empty and the profile applies everywhere

Everything else

  • Global on/off switch, plus Alt+Shift+H from anywhere
  • Export and import profiles as JSON to share a setup or check it into a repo
  • Open the popup in a full browser tab when you're editing a lot at once
  • Follows your system light/dark theme
  • Warns you before saving a rule the browser will reject

You may download directly from the source here if concerned about security.

Is OpenModHeader Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

OpenModHeader requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

OpenModHeader is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.

Risk likelihood analysis details
  • High This extension was recently updated in the past month. New updates may not be stable or safe.
