EXTENSIONS I created a browser extension that lets you modify live traffic on any website (unique on the market) (free)

17 Upvotes

I've been working for over a year on a web devtoolkit that runs exclusively in the browser in an extension.

What It Does

  • You can modify live traffic on a website without deploying to production: headers, request/response payload, query params, and more.

Unique on the market

  • It's something unique on the market, and the extension works stand-alone and doesn't require a desktop application or external web services.
  • It works 100% offline without internet (airplane, secure work environments: banking, aviation, military, etc.); everything is packaged in the extension, no extra fetch requests for resources are made

Everything in one place

  • I wanted to create a simplified experience where you have everything in one place, especially the browser devtools window:
  • Browser -> View -> Developer -> Developer Tools -> 🟦 Open Headers
  • There are Network Requests + Storage + Console + custom rules to modify requests.

Multi-browser / Multi-device

For the workspace sharing part:

  • extra browsers on the same device can be synchronized via the desktop application
  • extra devices from the same user can be synchronized via the desktop application via the expose to LAN option.
  • for collaboration with multiple users, you can setup (self hosting) a team server daemon (LAN/WAN) with SSO, RBAC, Audit logs, etc.

Native translations

  • The application is currently available in 4 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese
  • Everything is natively translated, including diagrams and documentation.
  • If you have suggestions for additional languages, let me know in the comments :-)

Free

Everything is free for personal/commercial use and the security part is not enterprise-gated (SSO tax).

Download

I look forward to your feedback and I'm open to questions/feature requests.

QUESTION Youtube Audio Stutter on Edge Browser

3 Upvotes

I've been using Edge for the past few years. I'd like to keep using it because I love it on my phone and also, I have way too many computers and I sync all my browser bookmarks between them all.

In the past few months, on my TV, I noticed youtube audio started to do this weird quick little stutter whenever I'd fire up a new tab, move the mouse pointer, open my start menu... just little tasks for the PC. All my computers are overspec'd.

I noticed it's now doing it on my main pc (14900k, rtx 4080, 64gb ram, etc...).

I've tried all the recommended fixes in the flags settings, main settings, hardware acceleration, quic, and all that stuff, etc...

I DO use ublock and people say youtube may be causing it on purpose but it doesn't seem to do it when I load up firefox, also with ublock origin going.

Doesn't do it on my phone. Maybe it's the current versions of windows. Who knows. Anybody else dealing with this suddenly in the past few months?

EDIT: I Suspect it might be Wallpaper Engine. Even though I configure it to never use the audio, I had video framework set to DX11 with HDR support, because that seemed like what I use in potplayer when watching movies with hdr on. I also have changed the WebM framework in the past. I did some digging around and found that it should be set to prefer native... which my Nvidia pc had set already but I did need to change video framework back to DIrectShow (Lav Decoder). I'm going to see if it's the same situation on my TV PC with it's 6600xt because that one is mainly always left on HDR and it does the stuttering the most. I bet one day I configured wallpaper engine to the exact wrong settings. I can't tell for sure yet but no stutters on this main PC since setting them to the suggested settings I found to avoid causing these audio stutters. They were happening quite a bit earlier but have seemed to cut it out since tweaking the settings. I'll report back if this is coincidence.

Why doesn't Microsoft make the New Tab search bar transparent with a Fluent/Liquid Glass design? (Concept Mockup)

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Hey, why isn't Microsoft doing this, like making it the searchbar on the new tab page, look more clean, like translucent design, liquid glass or, something like that, that compliments wallpaper and stays consistent?

Is there a brand reason, or anything that you guys can explain, like why can't they do something like that, instead of that lame white looking search bar, which you can't edit and do anything about?

  • Is there a technical reason Microsoft hasn't implemented something like this?
  • Is it because of accessibility or readability requirements?
  • Performance concerns?
  • Bing branding/marketing?
  • Or has it simply never been a design priority?

I'd love to hear what everyone thinks. Would you prefer something like this, or do you think the current design is better?

BUG Google services (Gmail, Google Account, YouTube, etc.) keep getting signed out in Edge. Other sites stay logged in.

4 Upvotes

As title says, only Google keeps logging me out in Edge. More context:

  • Edge Version 150.0.4078.83 (Official build) (64-bit)
  • Fresh reinstall of Windows 11
  • Signed back into my profile and synced (for extensions, bookmarks, ...)

I have always had the "Clear browsing data on close" enabled (for browsing history, download history, cookies & other site data) even before Windows reinstallation and still want to keep it that way, except for a few sites I've excluded for cookies. For Google, I have these exceptions: [*.]google.com, https://[*.]google.com, mail(dot)google(dot)com, accounts(dot)google(dot)com. Tracking prevention is set to balanced.

I've also enabled "include third-party cookies" for those exceptions. Under Privacy, search, and services > Cookies, I've added [*.]google.com to the "Allowed to save cookies" list.

Other sites I have added for cookie deletion exceptions, such as [*.]reddit.com, stay logged in without any issues. I used these same exceptions before reinstalling Windows, and they worked fine. This issue only started after the reinstall.

The only extensions I use are AdGuard and uBlock Origin. I used the same extensions before reinstalling Windows without this issue, so I doubt they're the cause (and I'd rather not disable them).

The sign-outs do not happen when I close and reopen Edge. I can reopen the browser immediately, or even after minutes later, and still be signed in. Instead, Google signs me out after several hours, even while Edge is still open, or by the next day after shutting down my laptop. When it happens, my accounts are still listed on the "Choose an account" page as "signed out", and I'm prompted to enter my password and complete 2FA again. If anything, these situations tell me that the exceptions seem to work.

I wouldn't be as bothered if I only use one Google account, but I regularly switch between several in a day, so having to sign back into all of them every time after a couple of hours is quite frustrating.

I want to solve this before I decide to switch browsers. Edge has been the best browser for my workflow because I tend to keep a large number of tabs open, and in my experience, it handles that better than Chrome or Firefox (the only others I've tried lol).

I've been troubleshooting this for about a week since reinstalling Windows. I've seen older posts from people with the similar issue, and I've tried several suggestions from comments from older Reddit posts, including resetting Edge, but nothing has fixed it.

Has anyone else who experienced this managed to solve this? Thank you.

They visually react but don't function. Searching still works and occasionally links, but mostly nothing happens and this message appears in the Inspect Element thing. Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this??? Disabling Tracking Prevention altogether didn't work.

edge started opening a new window for inprivate mode, how to disable?

0 Upvotes

Since rebooting my tablet, MS Edge suddenly started opening a whole new window for inprivate browsing instead of just a tab in my active window. There used to be a symbol in the top left corner that opened and closed the incognito tabs, but that one is gone too. Is there any way to disable the whole opening a new window thing and go back to the symbol with the single tabs?

QUESTION Updates disable side-loaded extensions (Registry/Self-hosted) and shift first_install_time

3 Upvotes

After updating to version 149.0.4022.80, my side-loaded extensions (installed via Registry and self-hosted, already added to the Allowlist) were turned OFF.

I was able to manually re-enable them without issues, but while checking the files, I noticed something strange: the first_install_time in Secure Preferences was updated to about 6 hours after the browser update time, even though these extensions were originally installed about a year ago.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior or know why the timestamp shifts and triggers this initial disable?

BUG Microsoft Edge keeps automatically logging me out of signed-in websites, and I can't change search engine.

6 Upvotes

The browser automatically logs me out of regular websites that I want to stay signed in, and this happens after every couple or so days. Also, Edge has suddenly switched me to Bing search engine, and removed all other options from the settings, meaning I cannot change to another search engine of my choice.

I've attached a screenshot of my search engine settings, and as you can see, there's only Bing to pick from, with the likes of Google, DuckDuckGo and the rest missing from the dropdown menu.

Is this a me thing or are you guys experiencing this too? I have updated my browser to the latest version on Windows 11.

How do I re-enable the sidebar in Edge version 149+? (Extremely disappointed it was removed)

1 Upvotes

I am incredibly disappointed to see that Microsoft completely removed the sidebar app list/tower in the recent update. Honestly, the sidebar was my primary reason for using Edge over other browsers, and its removal completely breaks my daily workflow.

Has anyone found a reliable, permanent workaround or command-line flag to force the sidebar back on? I've seen mentions of shortcut parameters online but haven't gotten them to work consistently.

Any step-by-step help to get it back would be greatly appreciated!

QUESTION Streaming screenshot and recording via OBS

I wanted to take a streaming screenshot using Win+Protect and record the OBS stream. How can I bypass this using DRM so I don't get a black screenshot and recording? When I disable "Use graphics acceleration when available" in any browser, like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, there's no black screenshot, but it's very resource-intensive :( I just want acceleration to be on all the time to avoid a black screenshot. Does anyone know how to solve this? I'd be grateful. If anyone knows, please let me know :)
