[Feature Request] An ability to set filter's default value for Network tab

[Dmitrij Sheremetjev]

Hello.

I use Chrome Dev Tools very often. Early, the network tab shown the downloaded files related to the current page only. But beginning from one of the last versions that behaviour has been changed - now network tab shows all files, loaded in current window (I guess). I mean the network tab now contains a lot of files from the different extensions which installed in the browser. All those files are the "trash" if you are not extension developer, those files are not necessary for the front-end web developers almost all time.

I know about "magic" filter -scheme:chrome-extension,  it hides all files from the extensions and make the life better, but I have to enter that filter manually every time when I open Dev Tools in new window. That is annoying too much. 

Would be great if the browser will have an ability to set the global filter for all windows or a checkbox to show/hide the files from the extensions in the network tab of Dev Tools. I will thank you a lot if you will add that ability.

The problem with this suggestion is that the extension is actually loading something in the page. Yes, it may be cheap, but it's not free. If we disabled this, it does not show developers what chrome or extensions are really doing.

I do believe it would be nice to have a default filter, but that's also not easy. The closest thing we have at the moment is "Hide data urls" which does get preserved between opening/closing of devtools.

Can you file a bug on http://crbug.com and we can follow the discussion there on what some of the ideas that might help are.

Hello

If chrome will save and apply last value in the "filter" field of the Network tab, that will be enough. Is it too hard to implement? I do not think so.

No, it's quite easy to implement, however we have a similar feature with filtering network by type (XHR, Image, Document, exc...) and people frequently forget they where filtering and when they re-open devtools it filters things out and don't realize they have a filter.

A simple solution is to use a different chrome profile that does not have these extensions installed for development or even better (and common for developers) to use Canary for development and Chrome for normal usage, this allows developers to see how their site will be affected by trying chrome out on their site/app before it lands.
