About Header Editor Pro – Modify HTTP Headers
Header Editor Pro is a free, open source HTTP header editor for developers.
Add, modify or remove request and response headers, with no account, no
telemetry and no limits.
WHAT IT DOES
• Request and response headers — set or append, each one individually
toggleable
• Unlimited profiles — no three-profile ceiling
• Domain filters — scope a profile to the domains you choose
• Tab group filters — keep sandbox headers inside their tab group, so staging
headers never reach production tabs
• Concurrent profiles — different tab groups can carry different headers at
the same time
• Pause everything with one click, without losing your configuration
• Import and export profiles as JSON
• 7 languages: English, Español, 日本語, 한국어, Русский, 简体中文, 繁體中文
TYPICAL USES
• API testing — send Authorization: Bearer <token> to authenticated endpoints
• CORS debugging — add Access-Control-Allow-Origin to reproduce and diagnose
• Environment switching — X-Environment: staging against a different backend
• Device testing — change User-Agent to compare mobile and desktop responses
PRIVACY
No data collection, no analytics, no telemetry, no external servers. Your
configurations live in local browser storage and never leave your machine.
Header rules are applied by the browser itself through the declarativeNetRequest
API — the extension does not read page content, and never sees the requests it
modifies.
The full source is on GitHub under the MIT licence. Read it, audit it, fork it.
FREE, AND NOBODY PAYS FOR IT
No paywall, no "pro" tier, no nag screens. Nobody funds this work. If you want
something improved, open an issue on GitHub and let's talk it through.
