Summary

This is the ultimate tool for taking control of any website.

Newly added: Request and Response header modification with common use case presets (Enable CORS, force allow outside content, allow iframes... etc).

This extension will allow you to redirect URLs on the fly before requests are made. You can also redirect URLs to text documents that you can create with this extension. If you need to inject JavaScript or CSS files, this extension has you covered.

This tool is great for debugging production websites, as you can edit and inject code on the fly. You no longer have to scan through minified code as you can just redirect to an unminified version or paste in the unminified version with the integrated file editor.

Das Austauschen von Resourcen über dieses Plugin hat mir schon einen Haufen Zeit gespart. Die Einrichtung von Umleitungen ist schnell passiert und sämtliche CSS- und JS-Files können damit einwandfrei ausgehebelt bzw. injected werden. Doof ist, dass man lokale Files über einen Webserver anbieten muss, damit das Plugin sie nimmt. File-Links nimmt es scheinbar nicht. Kleines Manko: Die Oberfläche könnte etwas kompakter und übersichtlicher sein.
