How to disable chrome developer tools automatic network recording?

[alexa...@wix.com]

Hi folks,

In chrome developer tools, every time a page loads I click on "Network" tab and see the "record" button active / red. Even if I disable the recording of network traffic, when I refresh the same page or open another website I see that Chrome is recording traffic in the "Network" tab.

Can I disable the automatic network traffic recording? I want to open developer tools, click on the Network tab and see the "Record" button in grey state by default.

When developing big web applications that have A LOT of traffic - 3rd party apis, statics CDNs from Amazon, Google and all the app's assets that must be downloaded like images, js files, css files, etc etc - this "Network" tab works very slowly and my browser gets stuck a lot. This causes my development time to be less productive because I must wait every time I want to check something in the "Networks" tab.

Can I turn the recording off by default? Can the "Record" button be grey and when I want it to start recording I just click on it and start seeing the traffic?

Is it even possible? That's the way a "record" button works usually - it is disabled at first and when you press it, it starts recording...

I've asked this in stackoverflow but didn't receive any great answer:

We'll address the actual problem instead - network panel will become fast again.

So there's nothing to be done now? Just wait for the next version?

Thanks

If this is critical for you, you can use your own Developer Tools implementation (based on the real one, of course, just with some revised code) and persist the disabled feature on your own.

Note that you do not need the full source of Chromium for that and it does not take much time to set up.
