You want the next request to go out a little differently. A bigger quantity, an expired token, someone else's id, a field the backend does not support yet. Not forever, just this once, to see what happens.

That is a request breakpoint: stop the request in flight, edit it, let it go. Desktop proxies have done this for twenty years, but they ask you to reroute your traffic and trust a certificate first. This guide shows how to do it from inside the page with tweak's Edit before send, which use cases it covers, and how it compares, feature and price, with Charles, Fiddler, Proxyman, Burp Suite and the free tools.

If you're debugging HTTP requests and network issues, you've likely considered both tweak and Proxyman. Both tools let you intercept, inspect, and modify network traffic, but they approach the problem from different angles. tweak is a lightweight browser extension; Proxyman is a full-featured desktop proxy application. Understanding their differences will help you pick the right one for your workflow.
