How It Works

The extension intercepts HTTP requests and modifies headers before they leave your browser. Headers are applied in order of specificity: global headers serve as defaults, and site-specific configurations override them for particular domains.

Permissions

This extension requires access to all URLs to modify HTTP headers for any website you visit. All settings are stored locally in your browser - no data is sent to external servers.

Privacy

Your privacy is important. This extension:
- Stores all data locally in your browser
- Does not collect any personal information
- Does not send data to external servers
- Works completely offline after installation
