Hi Chrome Domes,

I have a need for an extension that would be used temporarily that would use the Network Throttling capabilities in Chrome's devtools to place an upper limit to a particular website when visited by Chrome until the network can be upgraded in the very near future.

I can do this manually with the devtools inside of Chrome and it works great, I just need to find a way to trigger a network throttling profile automatically.  I know I can use the Chrome API's to listen to the URLs to trigger a script but what I don't know how to do is automatically trigger a network throttling profile in Chrome.

Any ideas? 

Thank you

EL

Hi sir I would like to know the answer but I'm not good at anything, just a newbie here. I hope somebody will answer this concern because I'm up for this.

There is no extension API for that at the moment. You have to use the Developer Tools, or, alternatively, the remote debugging protocol (say, using Chrome Driver).
