Short description
Alter your HTTP request headers on the fly Hola VPN - Free (limited) or Premium version. VPN extension to access any website.
Full summary

Header-Editor is an extension that will allow you to create and use arbitrary HTTP headers in Chrome.

The following permissions are needed for Header-Editor to run:

  • webRequest - Used to access the requests being sent out.
  • webRequestBlocking - So that headers are modified before being sent.
  • <all_urls> - All URLs are asked for since the extension cannot know ahead of time where it will be needed.

Note: Response headers do not appear in the Network Inspector, however they are supplied to your code. For more details, see:

Access websites blocked in your country, company, or school with Hola. Hola is free and easy to use!

You do NOT need to sign up or open a Hola account for most sites - just add to Chrome and start using. Hola enables you to access websites blocked or censored in your country with its unique and fast tunneling technology.

The Hola extension works 100% standalone. It does not link to, nor encourage the download of any other products and is fully functional as is, without requiring any additional download.

The free version unblocks most websites for a limited period of time. To unblock all websites with no time limits, sign-up and subscribe to Hola Premium - you don't need to install anything!

Hola requires the following permissions:

  • Proxy: Let Hola extension proxy your traffic through a server in another country to change your IP and unblock restricted sites. Why? This is the basic requirement for unblocking a website.

  • AllHosts/WebRequest/WebRequestBlocking: Let Hola extension check every web request and modify it. Why? Hola is the fastest unblocker because it uses split-tunneling technology to only proxy the minimum number of web requests needed to unblock a site - and only when necessary.
