Displays the current tab’s HTTP request and response or a Live HTTP Headers tab showing a stream of requests and responses.
HTTP Headers was written when the original HTTP Headers (HTTP Headers Live) extension sold out to malware injection and adverts. I decided it was time to write my own clean, ad-free, safe version that I didn't have to worry about.
Features:
- Light or Dark Theme
- Current tab's HTTP Headers
- Live HTTP Headers tab (+ a bunch of filters)
- Free and Open Source.
Permissions Information:
This extension requires the 'webRequest' and 'webRequestBlocking' feature to function and will show up when installing as 'read and change data on any website'.
Additionally, the permission for 'tabs' is required for the Live View feature to allow filtering requests on a per-tab basis.
Finally, the permission 'storage' is required to save the plugin's configuration information.
Privacy Policy:
Updated User Data Policy (Strobe)
I do not collect or process any information with this extension. I will never collect or process information with this extension.
Free and Open Source.

- (2023-11-06) Mustufa Barry: its working fine for me. really helped me a lot.
- (2023-07-27) Paul Sullivan: at first I couldn't get it to show in the latest version of Chrome. What I did to resolve that was go to uninstall it from this page and that makes the icon show in the toolbar. I right clicked on that icon and said pin. Now it shows all the time. Works perfect for my needs which are simple.
- (2022-03-29) linus mellumnav: doesnt show cookies ( which is also a header =8-(( )
- (2021-02-11) Camden Adams: I don't get why this extension is so underrated, this has all the tools needed to see web traffic!
- (2020-07-08) Mehdi Marani: Why it doesn't show the parameters sent by a POST request? it's so much needed to see the parameters.
- (2020-07-01) Dirk Schornstein: The original would show all requests that led to the current one - for example 301 redirects. Unfortunately this extension only shows the last request and response and is not sufficient for my purposes.
