**TL;DR:**
Fetch Log is the Chrome extension DevTools should have shipped. It strips away the noise, capturing only real API (fetch/XHR) traffic in a persistent, developer-focused popup—no static assets, no bloat, no learning curve.
---
**What’s actually happening?**
- Real-time monitoring of HTTP API requests using the Debugger API
- Live, filterable feed: case-insensitive, persistent filters
- Drilldown: Pretty-printed JSON, syntax highlighting, one-click copy for headers, bodies, or responses
- Auto-refreshes pending requests; dark mode for late-night debugging
- All data is local, ephemeral, and under your control—no tracking, no analytics
**Why bother?**
- DevTools’ Network tab is a haystack; Fetch Log is the needle
- Lightweight, popup UI (400x600) with zero setup—install and go
- Remembers your filters, highlights endpoints, and gets out of your way
- Built for frontend devs, API integrators, and anyone tired of sifting through web cruft
**Limitations (aka: honesty is a feature):**
- No chrome:// or extension page debugging
- One tab at a time; debugger detaches on tab switch
- HTTP(S) only—no WebSocket voodoo
- Popup closes on navigation (Chrome’s rules, not ours)
**Perfect for:**
REST/GraphQL wranglers, API explorers, anyone who wants a sharper, simpler network inspector.
**Install it. Use it. Stop fighting DevTools.**
