Installation

Installation steps

1. Download the extension

Download the latest package from the CDN and extract it.

If a public package is not available, build the extension from source:

pnpm install
pnpm build

The built extension is written to .output/chrome-mv3/.

2. Load it in your browser

1. Extract the downloaded .zip, or use .output/chrome-mv3/ from a source build.
2. Open chrome://extensions/ in Chrome or edge://extensions/ in Edge.
3. Enable Developer mode.
4. Select Load unpacked and choose the extension directory.

3. Verify the installation

After installation, the reqable icon appears in the browser toolbar. Clicking it opens the popup for global controls such as the Mock switch. Use one of the methods below to open the in-page sidebar.

Open the workspace

Method	Action
Keyboard shortcut	macOS: ⌘ + H; Windows: Ctrl + Shift + H; Linux: Ctrl + H. The shortcut toggles the in-page sidebar.
Page context menu	Right-click an empty area of the page and select Open reqable.
Extension context menu	Right-click the toolbar extension icon and select Open reqable.
Developer Tools	Open Chrome DevTools and select the Mock Panel tab for a larger request-monitoring workspace.

You can customize the keyboard shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Notes

• Clicking the extension icon opens the popup, not the sidebar.
• On macOS, Chrome maps the manifest shortcut Ctrl+H to ⌘ + H. Windows uses Ctrl + Shift + H because Chrome reserves Ctrl + H for History.
• If you refresh while the sidebar is open, it is restored on the same page. The state does not carry across pages.

Troubleshooting

Requests are not being intercepted

1. Make sure the Mock switch in the popup is enabled.
2. Refresh the target page and try again.
3. Check the browser console for errors.

A mock does not take effect

1. Make sure the global Mock switch is enabled.
2. Make sure the rule itself is enabled.
3. Verify the match strategy and URL.
4. Refresh the page and retry.

The sidebar does not open

1. Refresh the target page after installing or updating the extension. Existing pages are not injected automatically.
2. Wait until the page has loaded before opening the sidebar.
3. Switch tabs and retry.
4. Check whether the browser has disabled the extension.
