Description from store
The extension rewrite the headers based on a rules table.
It's possible to:
add , modify or delete header field for HTTP(S) request or response
export the configuration in a file (json format)
import the configuration from a file
choose urls on which the modifications applies
In order to work, the following extension permissions are needed :
storage : needed to store the configuration
activeTab, tabs : needed to show the configuration screen in the browser tab.
webRequest,webRequestBlocking,<all_urls> : needed to modify the headers

- For what it does, it works perfectly. However, you can only set it up for a single website at a time, so if you're trying to do this for multiple websites, you have to either delete/recreate the website-specific headers or save them and import them each time. Which is doable, but would be nicer to have this built in to the extension rather than having to do multiple import/export operations.

- It works and is simple! I had a problem with an old web app that doesn't work when the browser is in a language other than Spanish, but I didn't know it. I used ChatGPT, and with it, I figured it out. GPT suggested I install an extension to modify the Accept-Language in request headers, and this is the one I used. Now, the web app works as expected.

- Many YouTube videos show "An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: ___)", then i have to refresh the page again for the video to play. This is solved by disabling the last 4 YT headers. Please include the ability to block certain sites.

- It works as described. Simple and clear. Open source. What's missing is a more functional popup with the ability to switch headers.

- Me ha funcionado bastante bien, el reemplazo ideal para quienes usabamos ModHeader antes de su limitación en funcionalidades.

- Convenient and functional extension. My only wish: Enable the ability to have multiple data (rules) profiles, at least so that the old data is not erased during import.
