Cyclops is a simple, straightforward and 100% FOSS Chrome extension for adding HTTP request headers
You may be thinking that doesn't something like this already exist and the answer is YES it does. There are many extensions out there and I have used most of them, but what ends up happening is they become popular and the authors/companies behind them try to monetize their creations. They put in paywalls limiting functionality and making you pay to get that functionality back. So, if you don't like that, try out Cyclops.
Currently, this extension isn't published to the chrome web store, so you must build it manually using the steps below
- NodeJS
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/nixtus/cyclops.git cd cyclops- Install deps
npm i - Build
npm run build - In your chrome or brave browser navigate to
{chrome/brave}://extensions - Ensure you have
Developer Modeenabled - Click
Load unpacked - Select the
distfolder that was produced in step4 - Now, if you click the extensions button, you should see the
Cyclopsextension displayed
- Install deps
npm install - Start watch mode
npm run dev - Go into chrome/brave
brave://extensions - Click
Load Unpacked - Select the
distdirectory that was produced from the watch command - The extension will now be accessible in the menu bar
