Flight Recorder

About

Flight Recorder helps developers preserve recent network request context for the tab they are actively debugging.

Use it when a redirect, retry, auth failure, or initialization request happens before you remember to open Chrome DevTools. Start recording for a tab, keep working, then inspect the requests later from a local timeline.

Key features:
- Record recent network activity for the active tab you choose.
- Keep data local to the current browser session.
- Filter requests by search, method, status, type, and errors.
- Inspect sanitized request and response headers.
- Optionally capture request payload summaries.
- Export sessions as JSON or HAR.
- Copy a sanitized cURL command for a selected request.

What Flight Recorder does not do:
- It does not modify requests.
- It does not capture response bodies.
- It does not upload recorded data to a remote service.

Flight Recorder is designed for focused debugging, not as a proxy or packet inspector.
