About this extension
What it does

Suspend Network freezes all network activity in the current tab. In-flight responses are paused mid-stream and new requests are held until you
resume. One click or Ctrl+Shift+U to toggle.

Use cases
  • Inspect loading states and skeleton screens without racing against fast responses
  • Test timeout handling and error states by holding requests indefinitely
  • Debug network-dependent UI by freezing the page at any point during loading
  • Examine partial page loads and lazy-loading behavior

How it works
  • Uses filterResponseData to suspend in-flight response streams
  • Blocks new requests entirely while suspended
  • Badge shows the count of held requests
  • Per-tab — other tabs are unaffected
  • All requests release cleanly on resume

Privacy & Security
  • No analytics, no ads, no telemetry
  • No data collection or home-dialing — zero network activity of its own
  • All processing happens locally in your browser
