Charles proxy, Paros, Burp and Fiddler are all great tools to intercept and modify traffic.

Great for debugging or just inspecting/reversing/hacking in general.

Im glad if similar tools are being made available as browser extensions, it might lower the barrier to entry and get more people poking at the network layer.

PS: https://github.com/square/PonyDebugger is a cool debugger that lets you use Chrome developer tools when developing iOS apps.

PS2: https://paw.cloud/ and some other tools take these proxies to a whole new level in terms of UI/polish.

Tamper is built on MITM -- I built some internal tools using Tamper a few years back - Great proxy service.

Also reminds you that you should be CAREFUL with what extensions you install. As they can pretty much do whatever they want ;)

Good point. I tend to disable all for Incognito mode, then use that mode for things like online banking. Are there better approaches, like dedicating a separate browser for super sensitive stuff with absolutely nothing installed?

Chrome supports multiple profiles and you have different extensions for them. So you create for example one special profile for web development.

A separate, portable browser install would be wise. Even better if it's a bootable image of a trustworthy OS.

A bootable Linux distro that can be run from a USB key, like Puppy Linux.
