How to Migrate Resource Override Rules to Requestly

Introduction

Resource Override has been a popular browser extension for debugging web pages by injecting scripts or modifying network requests. However, with Chrome’s transition to Manifest V3 (MV3), this extension will soon become unavailable for Chromium-based browsers.

Fortunately, Requestly offers a powerful alternative. As a Manifest V3-compatible extension, Requestly not only replicates the features of Resource Override but also adds new capabilities to enhance your debugging and development experience. To make the transition seamless, Requestly now officially supports importing rules directly from Resource Override into its platform.

Step-by-Step Guide

Requestly’s supports 1-click import for your Resource Override configurations. Follow these steps to migrate and apply your rules:

Step 1: Go to Developer Tools (DevTools)
