  • log requests made through proxy WHEN INTERCEPT IS OFF. Useful for going back and analysing prior requests, even if we didn't specifically capture them when they were made.

  • also capture and log WebSocket communication

A very common mistake for beginners

If your browser is hanging and you don't know why: check your proxy

Remember: While you are connected to the proxy and have the Proxy Intercept switched on, your browser will hang whenever you make a request.
A very common mistake is to accidentally leave the intercept switched on and be unable to make any web requests through your browser. !
