  Http Request Assistant: The Essential Network Debugging Tool
  
  Elevate your web development workflow with Http Request Assistant, a professional-grade browser extension designed for local debugging and network traffic control. Whether you are troubleshooting cross-origin (CORS) issues, testing API responses, or simulating production environments, this tool provides precise control over every outgoing request.
  
  ❤ Key Features:
  
  ● Massive Rule Capacity: Create and manage up to 5,000 custom request rules to handle even the most complex development environments.
  
  ● Header & Cookie Manipulation: Customize up to 10 headers per request and modify cookies on the fly to simulate different user sessions or authentication states.
  
  ● Smart Traffic Control: Effortlessly set up network redirects to bypass production servers or block specific requests to test error-handling logic.
  
  ● URL Pattern Matching: Utilize advanced tokens for flexible URL matching, ensuring your rules apply exactly where they are needed.
  
  ● CORS Troubleshooting: Easily handle cross-origin requests to streamline local development against remote APIs.
  
  ❤ Important Compatibility Note:
  
  Chrome applies request modifications in the order they are installed. If you use multiple extensions that modify network requests, the most recently added rules may overwrite previous ones.
