How to read network requests in Chrome for new tab or popup window

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/20

Cool feature I discovered from [WayBackHow to read network requests in Chrome for new tab or popup window:

chrome://net-internals/#events

It will immediately show all events from all tabs including networking events.

The red bar at the top has a drop down on the right where you can stop them and perform a few other actions.

During or after capture, you can select relevant requests from the list (through checkboxes) so the right of the pane gets their info (which is a lot: not just the request/response content including all headers and cookies, but also any delegates from extensions and their results).

CSP and bookmarklets

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/25

If you find out bookmarklets like the [WayBack] Press-This or [Archive.is] SubToMe do not work on some pages but to on others.

Often it’s not the bookmarklet, but a combination the site disabling CSP (Content Security Policy) and browsers not coping well with that, see for instance:

Some links and notes as I want to learn about JavaScript in bookmarklets

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/04/11

I wrote about bookmarklets before, but more from a usage perspective, not from a programmers one.

From what I understand now is that:

  • bookmarklets are basically a special form of URI
    • you can use JavaScript in them, but must make sure you do not interfere with existing JavaScript on the page
    • javascript:(function(){ window.open('https://wiert.me/'); })();
  • the URI has limits so,
    • browsers can have length restrictions (some around 500 characters) forcing you to put the actual script on-line as externalised bookmarklet (which won’t work on body-less pages)
    • you will have to encode special characters (and URI decode them before beautifying existing JavaScript bookmarklets)

My first tries will likely be:

Topic: “Request Feedback” button vanished | WordPress.com Forums

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/02

Too bad, as it was fun while it lasted:

Even worse: the change was not announced, so people find out after the fact. A similar thing happened back in the “Press This” removal process (which got restored).

Some notes on “The WordPress bookmarklet was deprecated. Please delete it from your web browser.” because the `/wp-admin/press-this.php` based URLs look very similar.

The cool things about the “Request Feedback” were these:

Yay! The WordPress.com Press-This bookmarklet now works again!

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/29

Good news the Press-This bookmarklet on WordPress.com has been reinstated.

See https://github.com/WordPress/press-this/pull/29 and the discussions in these below threads and sources.

Solves issues:

  • #12 – Add text domains
  • #15 – Restore Bookmarklet Functionality
  • #17 – Needs better documentation
  • #32 – The Press This bookmarklet itself on the tools page does not have the code

Some relevant sources:

Need to write a proper bookmarklet for the wayback archive (:

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/09/14

Some inspiration for writing a proper bookmarklet that finds or saves a WayBack machine page:

On the last link, I was hoping that the https://web.archive.org/liveweb/https://www.example.org would work but it doesn’t work for many URLs and I’m not sure yet why that is.

It has a nice tip that works though:
