Headerly overview
Headerly is a browser extension for creating reusable network rules. A rule can modify request or response headers, redirect or block a request, allow traffic, or upgrade an insecure URL scheme.
Each rule is stored as a profile with three main parts:
- an action that defines what the browser does;
- conditions that select requests;
- a priority used when profiles overlap.
Headerly uses Chrome's Declarative Net Request API. The browser evaluates and applies registered rules; Headerly manages the profile editor, storage, rule registration, and error reporting.
Common uses
- Add an authorization or feature-flag header during development.
- Select an existing browser cookie and append it to matching requests.
- Change response headers while testing CORS or iframe behavior.
- Redirect an API or asset to another environment.
- Block an unwanted request while debugging a page.
- Limit a rule to one domain, method, resource type, tab, or tab group.
- Export profiles for backup or sharing.
What Headerly does not do
Headerly does not provide a network log, inspect request or response bodies, modify bodies, or act as a system proxy. Browser and DNR restrictions still apply to every profile.
Continue with installation, or create your first profile.
