I've been frustrated with WebSocket debugging for years. I looked for extensions that could intercept and simulate WebSocket traffic, but found nothing.
So I built WebSocket DevTools - a Chrome extension that:
- Intercepts and modifies WebSocket messages in real-time
- Simulates messages from both client and server sides
- Captures all connections even when DevTools is closed
- Works like the Network tab but for WebSocket traffic
The extension injects a proxy into pages when they load, intercepting traffic at the browser level. It integrates with Chrome DevTools as a native panel.
