In my chrome extension, I modify the header before sending any HTTP request, using chrome.webRequest methods. There must be a way to achieve the same functionality without using chrome.webRequest but I can't seem to find any. Could anyone provide me with viable alternatives for it so I can check and modify headers before sending requests? 

chrome.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders.addListener(function (req) {
  var customurl = req.url.substring(0, req.url.indexOf('/embed/'));
  var customRefererObject = { name: 'Referer', value: customurl };
  $.grep(req.requestHeaders, function (headers) {
    if (headers.name == 'Referer') {
      headers.value = customurl;
    }

In addition, I am modifying the headers from an Android webview. This post might be related.

Use window.location.href
