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 HeaderMod

FEATURES • Request headers — set, append, or remove headers on outgoing requests (e.g. Authorization, X-Forwarded-For, custom X-* headers). • Response headers — set, append, or remove headers on responses (e.g. Access-Control-Allow-Origin for CORS testing). • Cookies — append name=value pairs to the outgoing Cookie header without touching the browser's stored cookies. • Redirects — map matching URLs to another URL, e.g. point a production script at http://localhost:3000. Wildcard patterns or regexes with backreferences in the target. • Query parameters — add/replace or remove query params on matching URLs (e.g. force ?debug=1 everywhere). • URL filters — include filters restrict modifications to matching URLs (* wildcards, e.g. *://api.example.com/*); exclude filters carve out URLs that must never be touched. • Tab scoping — optionally pin a profile to specific tabs so the rest of your browsing is untouched. • Value placeholders — {{timestamp}}, {{isodate}}, {{uuid}}, {{random}} in header, cookie, and param values and redirect targets. • Profiles — create, rename, and switch between independent rule sets. • Per-rule toggles and a global pause button. • Badge counter showing how many modifications are currently active. • Export / import profiles as JSON. PRIVACY No data collection, no analytics, no remote servers. Your rules are applied natively by the browser (declarativeNetRequest) — the extension never reads your traffic.
