Tran Trung Nhat (ID: 0000005f45c9d119) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/17/2019 I found this extension a few day ago, I like it. But after a day, I can't open the Chrome extension to record the request. The errors is : "To use WrapAPI, undock the Chrome DevTools into a separate window, and make sure it's at least somewhat big." Actually, the Chrome DevTools undocked into a separate window
