## Description

Postman Interceptor is a powerful Chrome extension that acts as a browser companion to the Postman desktop app, enabling users to capture network requests and cookies directly from Firefox.

With Postman Interceptor, you can start, pause, and stop debug sessions that log all traffic captured during a time-bound session. Each session is recorded in the History tab with detailed timing and traffic data. Requests and responses from these logs can be sent to collections, and cookies can be saved to the Postman cookie jar, making testing and debugging efficient and streamlined.
