About Honest Headers – Modify HTTP Headers
Honest Headers lets you add, change or remove HTTP request and response headers - without giving up your privacy.
Built as a clean, trustworthy alternative after ModHeader was removed from the Chrome Web Store.
WHAT YOU CAN DO (FREE)
- Add, overwrite or remove request headers (Authorization, User-Agent, Cookie, custom X- headers)
- Add, overwrite or remove response headers (CORS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options)
- Leave a value empty to remove that header
- Keep several profiles (Staging, Local dev, QA) and switch in one click
- Apply rules only to matching URLs with regex URL filters
- NEW in 1.1: exclude filters - never touch URLs that match
- NEW in 1.1: Alt+Shift+H shortcut to pause or resume everything
- Pause everything with one switch; the badge shows how many headers are active
- Import your ModHeader JSON exports, and back up or restore your own profiles
- English and Japanese interface, light and dark mode
PRO (OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PURCHASE)
All features above stay free. Pro adds:
- Redirects: send a URL to another one (for example a production script to your local file)
- This tab only: apply headers only to the tab you are testing
- Request types: XHR/fetch only, pages only, scripts/CSS/images only, or WebSocket only
- Auto-off timer: pause automatically after 15 minutes to 8 hours
Pro is unlocked with a key you type in the options page. The key is checked on your own computer and is never sent anywhere. No subscription, no account. Keys are sold at honesttools.gumroad.com/l/rixjq
PRIVACY, FOR REAL
- No data collection, no analytics, no ads
- The extension makes no network requests of its own and loads no remote code
- No content scripts: it never reads the pages you visit
- It only uses Chrome's built-in declarativeNetRequest rules
- Your profiles stay in your browser
SAFE BY DESIGN
- Invalid header names are flagged right away and never applied
- If a URL filter pattern is broken, nothing is applied until you fix it (a red "!" appears on the icon)
- Imported profiles are never switched on automatically
MOVING FROM MODHEADER
1. In ModHeader, open the profile menu and choose Export (save the JSON file).
2. In Honest Headers, click "Import / Export" and choose that file.
3. Pick the imported profile in the popup.
Some ModHeader-only settings (such as cookie rules) are not supported yet - you will be told if any were skipped.
Honest Headers is not affiliated with ModHeader.
