The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About HeaderForge

HeaderForge modifies HTTP headers on the sites you choose. Built for developers, testers and security engineers who need to reshape requests without a proxy. WHAT IT DOES • Header rules: add, override or remove request and response headers, grouped into profiles you can switch with one click. • Precise scope: every rule applies only to the origins you grant. Broad host access is optional and requested by your own action, never at install. • Safety gate: rules that weaken protective headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options and the like) are flagged and require explicit confirmation before they apply. • Response mocks: replace or patch fetch/XHR responses to test edge cases without touching the backend. • Cookie editor: structured editing of the Cookie header instead of hand-typed strings. • Import/export: share profiles as files; imported files are validated and dangerous rules are re-confirmed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no server, no analytics. Your configuration lives in your browser and nowhere else. The code is open source (MIT).
