Kind of funny, I was just looking at adding similar functionality to an internal Chrome plugin I built because we struggle to get enough useful info in bug reports (being able to look at the HAR, in particular, is useful, but difficult to get users to do correctly).

Two questions -

1) Any way to customize which headers/cookies get scrubbed?

2) Is there a way to get something like the lower-level export you can get by going to chrome://net-export/?

Ha, that’s cool!

We don’t have a way to customize that yet but we absolutely need to build that

And yes! Network logs get captured and added to the bug report automatically and we have copy as curl too so you can retry the request locally

This would have been so useful this past week while we debugged something that ended up being a weird combo of Comcast/Cloudflare/http3 - only some people could reliably reproduce it and it was a lot to coach them through all the steps.

Being able to redact a few values would be really important for us (I just wrote Python scripts to clean the har files up), but I’m going to play around with it this weekend.
