Full summary	Basic Authentication is a straightforward Chrome extension designed to automate the basic authentication login process commonly used in staging environments. It stores credentials locally on your machine, ensuring that your private information is not collected, stored, or synchronized externally, providing enhanced privacy and security. This plugin allows you to enter your basic auth credentials once and bypass the prompt for the rest of your session. For users working across multiple domains, the "Advanced settings" feature enables you to manage credentials specific to various domains easily. The extension has been updated to Manifest 3 and refined by removing proxy support and performing code refactoring to improve user experience. Users are encouraged to report bugs and issues to help maintain and improve the extension.	Modify Header Value (HTTP Headers) is a powerful Chrome extension designed for developers, website designers, and testers. It allows users to seamlessly add, modify, or remove HTTP request headers for any requests on specified domains or URLs. This flexibility aids debugging, testing, and customizing request behaviors effortlessly. Key features include a user-friendly toolbar UI to enable or disable the addon quickly, support for multiple header items which can be individually activated or deactivated, and detailed options for each header item. Users can refer to the comprehensive HTTP header list on Wikipedia for supported fields, and learn how to add custom headers through the detailed tutorial within the extension's options page. Report bugs directly through the addon’s homepage for prompt support.
