** Older changelogs **
https://docs.modheader.com/whats-new/version-4.x
** Permissions **
ModHeader currently requires 6 permissions:
1, "webRequest"
2, "webRequestBlocking"
3, "<all_urls>"
4, "storage"
5, "contextMenus"
6, "alarm"
"webRequest" and "webRequestBlocking" are required in order for request headers modification to work. Because ModHeader doesn't know ahead of time which website the modification should apply to, it needs to request permissions for all URLs (3). "storage" permission is needed to save settings to the cloud. "contextMenus" is used to enable quick pause/unpause by right-clicking on the icon. "alarm" is used to periodically auto-sync profiles (if auto-sync is setup).

- (2023-12-08) iBug: Except doing what it's advertised, it also adds bunches of junk AI ads. Literally everywhere, and sometimes even pop-up tabs and windows. Can't withstand this level of ad bombarding.
- (2023-12-06) Mike Hu: enabling authentication with much more convenience in local environment many profiles allowed, switching between profile is instantaneous
- (2023-11-30) Rob Sterlini: Used to be great, but now injects AI ads in every Google window and when it is un-installed. I re-installed it to review it (weird) and it showed it then too. Poor form.
- (2023-11-28) Mash Rien (Mashrien): Wonderful tool and has helped to bypass "Your browser is unsupported" blahblah bullsh!t on SEVERAL websites, inclding the infamously picky YewTube.. Though it WOULD BE LOVELY if shared profiles were easier to find, like say.. on their own website lol

- (2023-11-15) Martin Heil: Injects ads into web pages, was a great simple tool for HTTP header modification turned money hungry. Have switched to Requestly instead

- (2023-11-07) Richard Demarest: ModHeader predominantly boosts development speed. Amazing stuff! Is the premium version worth it?
- (2023-11-07) Dennis Lizotte: Great extension for headers modification. Is there a tutorial available?

- (2023-11-06) Andy Black: It's reliable, has ads, but aren't they manageable for a free resource?
- (2023-11-05) Gamerator Tyler Stein: Used to be good until it started advertising illegally
- (2023-11-04) Steve Taylor: ModHeader has recently removed the option to opt out of ads. Upon starting the browser, it opens an extra tab which advertises another Chrome extension. It's also injecting its own ads into Google search results. ModHeader has become malware, as is the fate of almost every moderately successful Chrome extension.
- (2023-11-04) Iven Gehrmann: Injects adds unfortunately
- (2023-11-04) AM ll: 难怪近期浏览网页时电脑会突然蓝屏重启停了这个扩展就没事了
- (2023-11-03) Sebastian P: ps you can opt out of ads By opting out of ads, you will lose all the Pro functionalities, and will have a limit of 10 rules and 3 profiles.
- (2023-11-03) Nikita Iakunin: injects ads
- (2023-11-03) David Paul: Used to be good, but now it injects adverts into search results, and periodically opens the extension page for another extension it asks you to install. ModHeaders extension should really be banned from the Chrome web store for violating web store policies. Also, the extension says it collects personal information and location data - does it really need to?
- (2023-11-03) Clarence Romano: Switching profiles is seamless, perhaps the profile limit could be increased.
- (2023-11-02) William Jeffers: 实用的Chrome插件,推荐使用。
- (2023-11-02) George Seys: A lifesaver for any developer indeed! Could use a simpler UI, maybe?
- (2023-11-01) Ryan Hollis: This injects ads into your google search results. Deleting.
- (2023-11-01) darryl white: Redirects me to another garbage extension
- (2023-11-01) Hwani S: ad
- (2023-11-01) W LXY: 1. Insert ads in Google search pages. maybe more. 2. popup ads in first open chrome
- (2023-10-31) Andrew Crichton: Injects ads into google search results, and doesn't make it clear that the ads come from the extension. Pretty sure it's violating Google chrome store extensions policies Ads 4, 8.1, 8.2.
- (2023-10-31) Ryan Stille: Used to be great, but now it injects ads. It opens a new browser window to some AI site. Chrome extensions are dangerous, Google should fix this.
- (2023-10-31) Niels Lohmann: Started injecting AI based ads into google search and opening tabs to install other extensions.
- (2023-10-31) Liu Yicen: 没找到所谓的关闭广告选项 https://modheader.com/articles/ad-supported-plan
- (2023-10-31) Scott Hernandez: 重定向URL功能能满足我对插件的基本的需求。
- (2023-10-31) Emil Björklund: Bait-and-switch to an "ad-supported" model in a point release without informing. Injects stuff into search-results, auto-opens tabs and who knows what else.
- (2023-10-31) Jose Lindblom: Intuitively crafted.
- (2023-10-30) Kevin Matzen: Injects ads for other extensions into google search results.
