A better alternative to Resource Override
Resource Override is a handy free extension for swapping web files, but it is extension-only, lightly maintained, and built for solo work. Requestly covers the same overrides and adds header rules, API mocking, a built-in API client, and team workspaces.
Why developers prefer Requestly over Resource Override
