About QuickHeader
QuickHeader lets you add, edit, or remove HTTP request and response headers right from your Chrome toolbar — no proxy, no server, no code changes.
- Built for developers, QA engineers, and API testers who need to:
- Inject an Authorization token to test an authenticated API endpoint
- Bypass CORS while a local frontend talks to a remote API during development
- Spoof a mobile or legacy User-Agent to see how a page responds
- Force Cache-Control headers to debug caching issues
- Simulate feature-flag headers your backend reads
- Check what Googlebot would be served for SEO testing
KEY FEATURES
• Request & response header editing — set, remove, or toggle any header, per profile
• Multiple named profiles with instant switching, so dev/staging/prod configs don't collide
• URL scoping — restrict a profile to specific domains, or exclude specific domains
• One-click CORS preset and a built-in User-Agent switcher with common device presets
• Dynamic header values — {{timestamp}}, {{uuid}}, {{random_int}} for cache-busting or nonces
• Recipe library — one-click starting points for common scenarios (disable CSP, force no-cache, legacy UA, and more)
• Rule notes + "last triggered" / "unused in 30+ days" indicators, so you always know why a rule exists and whether it's still doing anything
• Request log — see exactly which headers were changed on real requests, filterable by profile or domain, exportable per entry
• Environment guardrails — tag a profile as "production" and any other profile marked "guardrail" will never fire its rules against that host, even if left active by mistake
• Import/export your configuration as JSON to back it up or share it with a team
• 100% local — no data leaves your browser; nothing is tracked or transmitted anywhere
