## What it is
A Chrome/Edge DevTools browser extension for monitoring, simulating, and blocking WebSocket traffic. It integrates as a native DevTools panel offering real-time message inspection, bidirectional message injection, and traffic control.

## Use cases
- debug websocket connections in chrome devtools
- intercept and block websocket messages
- send custom websocket messages to test handlers
- monitor websocket traffic in background
- simulate network issues for websocket testing
- inspect socket.io messages in browser

## When to choose
- you need to debug or test WebSocket traffic in a Chromium browser
- you want to inject, block, or replay WebSocket messages from DevTools
- you need background monitoring of WebSocket connections including iframes

## When to avoid
- you need WebSocket debugging outside Chrome/Edge
- you need server-side WebSocket traffic inspection
- you need a standalone proxy rather than a browser extension

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
