How to hide extension's request from chrome inspector?

Question

Can i hide request made by chrome extension like 'seoquake'? i can't see the requests to bing, fb, pinterest etc from inspector like screenshot below: but if use 'fiddler web debugging' tool i can see it like screenshot below:

How to do that? and can i unhide that requests? it's use super permission from chrome to seoquake or all dev can do that with our own javascript?

I don't think there's any way to hide things from the inspector. — Barmar, Mar 09 '17 at 03:39
The extensions have a separate background page. Inspect it and you'll see the requests. — wOxxOm, Mar 09 '17 at 08:16
@wOxxOm how to inspect it? but i dont think so, cause other extensions except seoquake can be inspected on every page i opened. — Muhammad Dyas Yaskur, Mar 09 '17 at 19:22
Not all extensions have background pages. For those that do open it on [chrome://extensions](https://stackoverflow.com/a/10258029) page after enabling its developer mode as shown in the link. — wOxxOm, Mar 09 '17 at 19:42
For anyone looking for an answer, please go to chrome bug tracker and let the chrome dev team know we need this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=239401 — tkit, Oct 05 '17 at 15:59

Open Chrome DevTools. In the network tab filter box, enter the string -scheme:chrome-extension (see screenshot below):

This is case-sensitive, so make sure it's lowercase. Doing this will hide all resources which were requested by extensions.

Although this does work and it's the best we've got right now, unfortunately it's unsustainable as I don't really want to type all that in every time I fire up devtools :/ there should be a checkbox for this – tkit Oct 05 '17 at 15:55

Well, it's better than anything else so this option is definitely a godsend! – Nick Dec 08 '17 at 21:22
