I'm trying to identify API calls that a chrome extension is doing, but I am not seeing those in the network tab of Chrome (inspect->network).
Is there a way to mask those out from there? Should I use a different tool to identify the network activity?
I guess you must be using DevTools for Chrome to debug you extension. In that case you can't see the network activities of your extension.
In order to debug you extension, you should use the DevTools for Extension:
Right click the extension icon, and you will see Inspect the popup, click that and select Network tab and you are done.
Like this(pay attention to the title of this):
For more infomation, you can see Debugging of the chrome-extension tutorial. Hope this helps.

I am developing a chrome devtool of my own. I need to click a button from my devtool to jump to chrome's network panel. Is this possible? , I looked for a lot of documents, and I didn’t see any relevant implementation.
for example:
chrome.devtools.open('network',function callback(){})
then the network panel will show
thank you.
While in dev-mode in my application, I would like to be able to have links on the page that automatically take me to a specific file in the Chrome Dev Tools.
Is there any way to generate a URL that when clicked in Chrome, opens the Dev Tools at the Sources tab and at the desired file ?
You are able to "inspect the inspector": How do you inspect the web inspector in Chrome?
Simply undock it, then inspect DevTools itself with ctrl+shift+i. Then head on over to the sources tab in original (first DevTools), inspect it, and get its URI from Elements.
Or use chrome://inspect/#other
Example URI (first part only):
devtools://devtools/bundled/toolbox.html?remoteBase=https://chrome-devtools-frontend.appspot.com/ser…
Your requirement is somewhat specific, so I don't think it is possible (at least not natively).
You probably can achieve what you want extending DevTools with an Extension (see the documentation). This way, you can make your page interact with the extension to make it open a specific panel in Chrome Dev Tools.
I'm trying to allow users to add an Adblock Whitelist via a Chrome extension. To allow this there is the API like such:
1) Add The Ebates WhiteList
However if I add that link to a Chrome extension popup window the link doesn't go anywhere. My guess is that the Chrome extension execution context isn't aware of Adblock/able to support that API. Is anyone who is more of an extension wizard than myself able to verify that I'm correct in my assumption and that there is no workaround? Thanks!
I want to see how stuff works on a website, but each time I open Devtools (or refresh the page), I get an alert saying Devtools is open. It blocked me from using Devtools, so I want to disable this feature.
So, I searched how to "jam" google chrome Devtools and got these results:
Find out whether Chrome console is open
https://coderwall.com/p/iktwug/detect-if-chrome-devtools-are-open
https://github.com/sindresorhus/devtools-detect
But I can't find any information about making Devtools Undetectable or disabling this code. Tried undocking Devtools, didn't work.
This is their code blocking me from using Devtools:
https://hastebin.com/oxopowiduy.php
What should I do to make Devtools Undetectable?
In Chrome 73+ it's possible to open devtools before the page can run any code to detect it:
open chrome://inspect
click "Pages"
click "pause" on an entry for the tab you want to debug
Now you can inspect the page, find out how exactly it detects devtools, and defuse it. Judging by the code in your question, you can run window.uomg.create.onchange = null, but if not, set breakpoints in the code and debug it to find out a working method.
Based on this answer:
Find out whether Chrome console is open
The answer to your question is "No" - the sites are probably using jscript to detect the console is open and you will not be able to send back a false negative.
For the life of me I can't find where to enable this setting: Override requests with workspace project in Chrome Canary v64.0.3
Where do you enable this feature?
I learned about this feature from here: https://umaar.com/dev-tips/162-network-overrides/
Currently with 65 Chrome Canary it's not experimental anymore.
But you still cannot "Save for overrides" XHR requests.
This restriction is only in UI. To get XHR request override:
Open "Sources tab" in Chrome Canary DevTools and "Overrides" sub-tab under it.
Check "Enable Local Overrides" and add a folder to store changes in the filesystem.
Open "Network" tab in Chrome Canary DevTools and select XHR request
Press "Open in new tab"
Go to new opened tab Chrome DevTools - "Network"
Select the first request in the list and "Save for Overrides" button appears.
You can follow the gif from question starting step 5:
It's behind an experiment (https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/ui#experiments) then it'll be under experiments in the settings panel of devtools.
Please do be warned though, this is an experimental feature, there are bugs and it might not work as intended.
We are trying hard to get it fully released soon (on Canary) but it needs to be a 1st class feature before we will feel ready to release it.
I think they might have shipped the feature, so it's no longer behind an experiment.
Try the workflow that Umaar outlined, omitting the step about enabling the experiment.
Haven't tried it myself yet, so I could be wrong
The feature is no longer an experiment in Chrome Canary (current version at the time of this: 64.0.3261.0). You can start to use it now. It will take a little time to arrive in Chrome stable.
In the latest version of Chrome Canary (Version 65.0.3317.2) you still need to enable dev tool experiments. The option is still behind the experiment flag #kayce-basques . I also followed the tutorial of Umaar - also using GitHub for testing - but I don't get any visible website changes after pressing F5.
Has someone figured out how to get it to work?
(1) Select the Overrides Tab in the Sources Panel.
(2) Click the Setup Overrides ( + icon) to add an empty folder.
(3) Confirm that Enable Network Overrides are enabled.
(4) Select the js file to be persisted on the Network Tab and display the source code in the code editor.
(5) Add code “console.log (‘hello world’);” to the beginning of the source code.
(6) Right click on the source code, select command [Save for overrides] on the context menu.
(7) Reload the current page after saving the file.
(8) Open the Console Panel and check the result.
This feature is now enabled in chrome stable you can follow these step:
In chrome go to "Sources tab" then in devtools "Overrides" click "Enable Local Overrides" then create a folder to put the changes in the filesystem. Go to
"Network" then select XHR request then "Open in new tab" then go to new opened tab Chrome DevTools - "Network"
pick the first request in the list and normally you will have a "Save for Overrides" button appears.
