Features

Everything you need to debug network traffic fast.

TabSniffer surfaces the requests your tab makes — started, completed, and errored — all in one clean table.

Live Request Timeline

Watch started, completed, and errored requests appear in real time for the source tab that opened TabSniffer — no page reload needed.

Text & Column Filters

Filter by keyword across any column, or narrow down by method, status, or request type to zero in on exactly what you need.

Copy as cURL

Select any request and copy it as a ready-to-run curl command for bash or cmd — including headers and payload.

CSV Export

Export the current filtered view to a CSV file in one click. Only visible rows are exported — what you see is what you get.

Pause & Resume

Pause the capture to freeze the current view while you inspect entries, then resume to keep collecting — without losing what you already captured.

Minimal Permissions

TabSniffer only requests the permissions it needs — no broad host access, no tracking, no account required.

See it in action

Built for quick debugging sessions.

Open TabSniffer alongside your tab and get a full view of its network activity without leaving the page.

Real-time capture for the tab you care about.

Click the TabSniffer icon on any tab to open a dedicated capture window. Requests stream in as they happen — method, status, URL, payload, and headers all visible at a glance.

  • Per-tab focus — only captures traffic from the source tab
  • Shows started, completed, and errored request stages
  • Inspect method, URL, payload, and request/response headers

Export, pause, or reset in one click.

The toolbar gives you instant control over your capture session — freeze the view when you spot something interesting, clear the log when you're ready to start fresh, or export the filtered results to CSV.

  • Pause capture without losing previously recorded requests
  • Reset clears all records for the current session
  • CSV export respects active filters — only visible rows included

Up and running in four steps.

Navigate to any site in Chrome — an API dashboard, a web app, a news feed — anything you want to inspect.

2

Click the TabSniffer icon

A dedicated TabSniffer page opens and begins capturing all network requests made by that source tab.

3

Filter & inspect

Use text search or column filters to find the requests you need. Click any row to inspect headers and payload.

Copy, export, or clear

Copy a request as cURL, export the view to CSV, or reset the log when you're ready to start a new capture.
