** Good To Know **
1, You will see [\"api-interceptor\" started debugging this browser] message on the top when API Interceptor icon is clicked. This is because it uses the debugger API, which is needed for response modification. Due to Chrome's security policy (https://crbug.com/1096262), that banner would show up on all tabs even when a tab is not being modified, and it may still for a few more seconds after ModResponse is paused or disabled. To hide it, you can run chrome with --silent-debugger-extension-api command line switch.
2, Clicking on the \"Cancel\" button on the [\"api-interceptor\" started debugging this browser] message will stop intercepting requests going in the page. To reactivate it, click on the \"Play\" button in the extension popup
