Is there a Google Chrome extension to inject custom HTTP headers in each request?

Question

Firefox has the "modifyheaders" plugin. Is there anything like it for Google Chrome?

This question was asked when there was only an experimental API for Chrome extensions to access HTTP headers. Since then the [WebRequest API](http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/webRequest.html) has been released, so now anyone can distribute extensions doing all sorts of manipulation of the headers. — Knut Forkalsrud, Jun 15 '12 at 23:38

As an absolute beginner REST Console and Postman are pretty heavy for me but I've picked up Dev HTTP Client in about 20/30 minutes. Thank you very much!!!!! – fIwJlxSzApHEZIl Oct 23 '13 at 22:48

ModHeader is nice and simple to use, also: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/modheader/idgpnmonknjnojddfkpgkljpfnnfcklj – Simon East Jul 10 '14 at 04:39
@Simon: ModHeader hasn't been updated in two years. – Dan Dascalescu Jan 05 '15 at 19:47

@DanDascalescu You can try Requestly - http://bit.ly/requestly-chrome-store. This is open source and I have tried my best to keep the UI simple. – Sachin Jain Jan 14 '15 at 05:07

Thanks! That means I have to write my own extension or get hold of one outside the typical distribution channels. That's a good little project I guess, but I was hoping for something ready made. – Knut Forkalsrud Aug 19 '11 at 00:36

The webRequest API is no longer experimental, and can now be found at: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/webRequest.html – svjson Nov 12 '13 at 12:47
Can you add an example of how to use the WebRequest API? Is it something that can be easily used from the console? – Dan Dascalescu Jan 05 '15 at 19:40
@DanDascalescu If you want to look at the example of how to use webRequest API, you can see here https://github.com/blunderboy/requestly/blob/master/src/background/background.js#L148 – Sachin Jain Jan 14 '15 at 05:11

This is not an answer to "is there an plugin like this" – Aaron McMillin Mar 30 '16 at 15:37
Yeah, this answer definitely doesn't answer the question. – emarticor Apr 04 '19 at 04:24
