Is VibeHeader a ModHeader replacement?

For request-header workflows, yes. VibeHeader provides local Profiles, precise Request Filters, a URL tester, and review-before-import sharing. Version 1.1 does not support response headers, redirects, mocks, or scripts.

Will my ModHeader configurations import automatically?

No automatic ModHeader file importer is currently provided. Create a Profile, copy compatible request headers, rebuild their URL scope with Request Filters, and verify the result in browser DevTools.

How do I migrate from ModHeader?

Remove the affected ModHeader version, install VibeHeader, create one Profile per project, copy compatible request headers, rebuild URL scope with Request Filters, test an exact URL, and verify the outgoing request in DevTools.

Yes. VibeHeader is free and ad‑free. It keeps configuration client‑side and doesn’t track usage.

Does VibeHeader track or inject content?

No. The extension has no telemetry and does not inject ads or promotional content.

How do VibeHeader share links work?

One Profile name, its enabled valid request headers, and valid Request Filters are encoded after #c= and read locally on the share page. Browsers do not include that fragment in the request to the web server. Treat the complete link as sensitive if it contains credentials.

ModHeader Alternative for Chrome and Edge

Local Profiles, precise Request Filters, and reviewable share links in a focused, open-source Manifest V3 request-header editor.

Best fit: request-header workflows that need clear URL scope, quick project switching, and consistent team handoff—not response headers, redirects, mocks, or scripts.

How to switch from ModHeader

Remove the old extension. If you used ModHeader 7.0.18, follow the cleanup and self-check guide and rotate secrets that may have been exposed.
Install VibeHeader. Use the official Chrome or Edge store buttons above.
Recreate the compatible workflow. Create one Profile per project, copy the request headers you still need, and rebuild the URL scope with Request Filters. There is no automatic ModHeader file importer.
Test and verify. Test an exact target request URL, reload the page, open DevTools → Network, and confirm the value under Request headers.

For a longer checklist, use the step-by-step migration guide.

Common Questions About Switching

Is VibeHeader a complete ModHeader replacement?

It is a good replacement for straightforward request-header editing. If your workflow depends on redirects, mocks, scripts, advanced matching, or a large rule library, compare broader tools before switching.

Will my ModHeader export import automatically?

No automatic ModHeader file importer is currently provided. Recreate the request headers you still need, then verify each value in DevTools.

What is the main difference?

VibeHeader focuses on request-header work: local Profiles, precise Request Filters with a URL tester, visible precedence when Profiles overlap, and one-link sharing for review before import—without ads or extension telemetry.

Is a share link safe to post publicly?

No configuration link containing credentials should be public. The fragment avoids server logs and the preview masks common sensitive keys, but anyone who receives the original link may still possess its values.
