Chrome extension network activity not showing up

Question

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?

If you remove the extension, can you see the network calls? Can you send a link or sample that shows the behavior? — rags2riches-prog, Jan 31 '18 at 08:57
Check the extension's [background console](https://stackoverflow.com/a/10258029/3930351) — Iván Nokonoko, Jan 31 '18 at 09:32

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.
