PLEASE NOTE: This extension is designed to work with the HttpWatch software on Windows (see www.httpwatch.com). It is not intended to be a stand-alone Edge extension.

HttpWatch supports many additional features compared to the built-in DevTools network panel:

  • Supports multi-page debugging by grouping requests by page

  • Supports automatic recording and logging of network traffic in each Edge tab without additional user intervention

  • Displays warnings about well know performance and security issues, e.g. ineffective cache settings

  • Advanced Find and Filter functions make it easier to locate requests or content
