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.

On July 10, 2026, Google and Microsoft pulled ModHeader from the Chrome Web Store and Edge Add-ons. Roughly 1.6 million installs, gone in a few days, after dormant data-collection code was found buried in the extension. If you were one of those users, or you're just re-evaluating what you trust with request and header access, here's what happened and what tweak does differently.

Four things shipped in v9.0.0. On their own, each one saves you a few clicks. Put together, they change how a debugging session actually feels: fewer detours, less waiting, more of your attention staying on the problem in front of you.

If you're debugging HTTP requests or mocking APIs for frontend development, you've likely considered both tweak and Mock Service Worker (MSW). While both tools allow you to intercept and modify network traffic, they approach the problem from completely different angles. tweak is a lightweight browser extension; MSW is a code-level library that integrates directly into your project. Understanding their differences will help you pick the right one for your workflow.

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.

If you've been searching for a way to mock HTTP requests in your browser, you've likely come across both tweak and Requestly. Both tools let you intercept and modify network requests without touching your backend, but they approach the problem differently. This post breaks down what each tool does well and when you should reach for one over the other.

During our web development daily activities it's common to poke around the browser to test our applications or replicate weird behaviors, often caused by API calls errors. In this short tutorial you can learn how to override a XHR/Fetch response status code with the tweak browser extension.

Modern browsers have advanced development toolkits allowing developers to inspect and debug their code in detail. This article will go through the options you have to block HTTP requests with modern browsers.

This article will guide you on mocking a GraphQL request directly in the browser with our extension.

APIs are king in the industry, and GraphQL has changed the APIs game for good with rising adoption. We want to write this article specifically tailored to developers working with GraphQL APIs. Let's begin!

Some time back, we've received feedback from a user stating that they could use our browser extension in mobile using the Yandex browser and gave some feedback about usability. We don't develop for mobile, but when we found out it was possible, we improved our import/export flow to allow users to quickly load in a JSON file with many rules and operate with the app while mocking requests with tweak. Let's look at how to achieve it.
