About

WebInspector is a high-performance network inspector extension designed for web developers who need a fast, powerful, and intuitive tool for debugging network traffic.

## 🚀 Major Features & Performance

This update introduces significant performance upgrades and powerful new functionality for filtering and testing requests.

    [New & Updated] Virtual Scrolling Table Replacement - Replaced the old standard table with a better engine that only renders visible rows, ensuring the UI stays fast and responsive even with thousands of requests.

    [New] Advanced Query-Based Filtering - Search requests with precision using queries like domain:, method:, and -status:.

    [Updated] "Send To Custom" Functionality - Modify and re-send any captured request to quickly test changes.

## ✨ UI & Experience Improvements

The user interface has been enhanced to make inspecting data faster, easier, and more intuitive.

    [New] Color-Coded Log & Syntax Highlighting - Request methods (GET, POST), statuses (200, 404), and types (Script, XHR, ETC) are color-coded for quick visual scanning.

    [New] Preview/Parsed Views with Raw Toggle - Switch between a clean, formatted view and the raw text for headers and response bodies.

    [New] Interactive JSON Tree View - A collapsible and easy-to-navigate tree for inspecting complex JSON responses.

    [Updated] Detailed Request Inspection Modal - A comprehensive view showing all details of a selected request, including headers, payload, and response.

    [Updated] Refined Sorting Controls - The click area for sorting has been fixed. Sorting is now only triggered when clicking the header name itself, while clicking the filter buttons (like "Types" or "Methods") will correctly open the filter menu.

## ⚙️ General Adjustments

    [Adjustments] Settings & Customization - Personalize the tool with themes, log preservation, and an ignored domains manager.
