About Header Leader - HTTP Header Editor
Header Leader is a local HTTP header editor for Chrome developers. Create reusable profiles to set, append, remove, enable, and reorder outgoing request headers for website, API, and staging-environment debugging.
Create any number of profiles, enable several profiles at once, and organize each profile's header stack. For every header you can:
- Set a value.
- Append a value, including safe comma-separated emulation for custom header names that Chrome cannot append natively.
- Remove the header.
- Enable or disable it independently.
- Reorder it with drag and drop.
Use profiles to test custom headers, feature flags, API integrations, authentication flows, and staging environments.
The extension applies profiles to top-level page loads and subresources, saves configuration locally, and reconciles Chrome's dynamic rules whenever settings change. A global switch can suspend all modifications and restore the previous active-profile selection later.
Privacy by design:
- No account.
- No analytics or advertising.
- No remote code.
- No browsing-history collection.
- No transfer of profile data to Presemantic or third parties.
- Profile configuration is stored only in `chrome.storage.local`.
Header Leader requires access to HTTP and HTTPS sites solely to apply the header changes the user configures.
