About URL Rewrite
URL Rewrite is a lightweight Chrome extension for frontend engineers and web debuggers who need to control network requests without editing application code or changing server config.
Use it to:
• Redirect production bundles or APIs to localhost
• Replace version strings, file names, or URL fragments
• Add, replace, or remove query parameters such as debug=1
• Block analytics, advertising, or noisy third-party requests
• Limit rules to specific active sites to avoid unintended effects
Key features:
• Four rule types: Replace, Redirect, Query Param, and Block
• Match by full URL or hostname
• Match modes: Contains, Equals, Regex, and Wildcard
• Built-in examples for common local debugging scenarios
• Bulk actions for enabling, disabling, exporting, and deleting rules
• JSON import/export and a full-screen management page with focused rule dialogs
• Local rule storage through Chrome extension storage
This extension has one clear purpose: user-controlled request rewriting for development and debugging workflows.
It does not require user accounts, does not sync rules to a remote backend, and does not execute remote code.
