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 xPanel
xPanel provides the same focused API request and response workbench as a
standalone extension page and in Chrome DevTools. Browser mode sends requests
directly from the extension after you approve the target origin. Exact-origin
approval is the default; Request Options also offers an explicit one-time
all-HTTP/HTTPS grant for users who regularly switch API domains. An optional
one-fetch service profile can replay requests that Browser Fetch cannot faithfully
express, but xPanel never selects a relay or sends data remotely without your
explicit choice and confirmation.
Key features:
- Build HTTP requests with parameters, authentication, headers, and common
body types.
- Inspect response content, returned cookies, timing, and whether a result came
from the target, the configured service, or an unverified intermediary.
- Bring requests in from common developer-tool exports and API documents, then
export reusable collections.
- Save collections and favorites locally, format JSON, copy results quickly,
and cancel active requests.
- Continue a request the user started if the standalone page or DevTools panel
closes, then make its temporary local result available when a workbench
reopens. Results expire after ten minutes by default; users may instead
choose one hour, the current Chrome session, or retention until manual
cleanup. Manual retention requires an additional sensitive-data warning.
- Use a 60-second default timeout with visible request phases and real download
progress when the response size is known.
- Optionally configure a service that you deploy and trust. Remote mode needs
permission for its Control/Gateway origins, not for each destination. xPanel
provides no public proxy and operates no backend.
