Why is Chome devtools automatically blocking a request? - json

I am trying to build a PWA (Progressive Web App) but the Chrome devtools console is warning that it is blocking my css and icon file.
Request was blocked by DevTools: "https://example.com/styles/style.css".
I cannot find any information about this happening automatically and, to my knowledge, should only happen if the user has manually requested to block a script. Chrome does not offer any other information about the warnings other than being blocked.

This error means the domain or URL has been blocked in the devtools. Most of the time, it's just because the developer blocked the request without paying attention.
To unblock it, just follow these steps:
Open your devtools
Go to the network tab
Right-click on the request that blocked
Then click Unblock <request-url>

Cookies are erased when opening dev tools on localhost

Anytime I have dev tools open on localhost my cookies are deleted and I am redirected to the login page on every page load which means I cannot use dev tools to debug or get insight into my site. I have localhost setup with a valid SSL cert (self-signed) and the site works normally until I open dev tools. How do I fix or disable this new "security" or setting in chrome?
After lots of issues and trying out many different things I came across this post/answer
When adding a Javascript library, Chrome complains about a missing source map, why?
Turns out that when I opened Dev Tools it would request a CSS map and the request was being sent to a different firewall causing my application to require me to re-authenticate every time this resource was requested. Turning off the CSS source map option fixed the issue

Fiddler capturing traffic from a specific process stopped working in Chrome

Open Chrome and navigate to google.com
In Fiddler use the "Any Process" button to select that Chrome tab
In Fiddler the "Any Process" button changes to something like "chrome: 11788"
In the Chrome tab search for something
I expect traffic to be captured by Fiddler but no sessions are displayed. If I use "Any Process", traffic is captured from all applications.
The "Use Filters" checkbox is unchecked in the Filters tab.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Fiddler.
I have the latest version installed.
What else could I do?
Modern versions of Google Chrome use separate process for making requests; so the process of the main window, detected by the 'Any Process' tool, is different.
The team is considering a fix, but it is currently not implemented, see "Target Any Process" feature no longer working with Chrome.
Possible workarounds meanwhile are:
Use other filtering functionality - e.g. capture a request from Chrome, and from the Sessions view choose right click -> Filter now -> Show only process=<process number>.
Filter everything else. In Fiddler, uncheck Tools -> Options -> Connections -> Act as system proxy on startup. Then Start Chrome with manually specified proxy settings, pointing to the port on which Fiddler is listening:
chrome --proxy-server=http://localhost:8888
This way the only captured traffic will be from this instance of Chrome.
Detailed version: Why Fiddler's Process Picker tool doesn't work with Chrome anymore
Brief version: For security and performance reasons Chrome now handles network requests through a separate network service. So when you are pointing the 'Any Process' tool of Fiddler on any Chrome window/tab, you are actually pointing to the UI (browser process) of Chrome browser.
There is one quick workaround for this:
Navigate to chrome://flags/#network-service-in-process in your Chrome browser. You would see Runs network service in-process and its value would be set to Default.
Change the value from Default to Enabled. By doing this you are telling Chrome to handle network requests from the browser process which also handles the UI.
Restart Chrome. You should now be able to capture network requests by pointing the Any Process tool on any Chrome tab.
Once you are done with your development activities do not forget to set the flag back to Default. This would give better performance.
NOTE: At the point of writing this, I am using Chrome 84.

How can I view Google Chrome DNS cache on MacOs Mojave?

I'm wondering if there is a terminal command that allows me to view my google chrome DNS cache on Mac.
Thanks
I have the same exact problem. Chrome is resolving a URL to the wrong IP, all other browsers resolve to the correct one. Upon inspecting the net-internals menu it just gives me the option to clear cache. There doesn't appear to be any direct way to see it.
What I did instead is I allowed the website to resolve to the wrong IP, then accessed the developer menu (F12 on Windows), clicked on Network, chose one of the loaded images and clicked the 'Headers' tab. under General -> Remote Address it showed me which cloudflare proxy IP the something.com address was resolved.

Cookies on localhost in Google Chrome

I just want to know if the cookies are created while I try to access websites on localhost in Google Chrome.
Only if the page on localhost creates a cookie (client-side or server-side).
External resources (images, frames) may also create cookies, depending on your preferences.
You can check it yourself by opening the Developer tools (F12) -> Resources -> Cookies.
Simply press F12, open Application tab, expand Cookies in left menu, right click on localhost and and and click Clear!

Chrome Web Inspector Web Socket Debugging

I can use the Network tab in the Google Chrome Web Inspector to debug the network traffic (AJAX requests, etc.). I can check what data is transferred easily. But Websocket connections only show as
Request URL:ws://localhost/...
Request Method:GET
Status Code:101 Switching Protocols
...
and I can't see the transferred data. Is there any build in feature in Google Chrome to inspect the transferred data? Or do I need to use Wireshark?
PS: I'm using the latest stable version (16.0.912.75). If a newer version (beta/dev) has this features, it would be nice.
Chrome and Chromium now have WebSocket message frame inspection. Here are the steps to test it quickly:
Navigate to the WebSocket Echo demo, hosted on the websocket.org site.
Turn on the Chrome Developer Tools.
Click Network, enable filter (3rd icon from the left on the top of Dev Tools) to filter the traffic shown by the Developer Tools, and click WebSockets.
In the Echo demo, click Connect. On the Headers tab in Google Dev Tool you can inspect the WebSocket handshake.
Click the Send button in the Echo demo.
To see the WebSocket frames in Chrome Developer Tools, under Name, click the entry representing your WebSocket connection. This refreshes the main panel on the right and makes the WebSocket Frames tab show up with the actual WebSocket message content.
I also posted the steps with screen shots and video.
After some more research I found a duplicate question here: Debugging WebSocket in Google Chrome
Chrome does't support viewing the traffic in the current stable version. I need to use Wireshark.
Another Idea, for simple web socket testing and lightweight, use Chrome plugin "Simple Web-socket. I wanted to check only if the connection can be establish or not. Following Chrome plugin "Simple Web-socket (link : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-websocket-client/pfdhoblngboilpfeibdedpjgfnlcodoo?hl=en)" work like charm. See image.
