Details

Would be nice if we could add or modify HTTP headers. Dennis mentioned we could use the webrequest API.

A good use case is getting hi-res images from Facebook on Android by adding Client Hints DPR (depending on if / when we decide to add Client Hints):

Severity: normal → enhancement
Component: Tooling & Investigations → Interventions
Priority: -- → P2

We can do that with our "custom functions", where we can register arbitrary events to alter the request if we want to! So I'll close this bug - if there are specific use cases, I'm happy to hear about them, and file a new bug for implementing the specific intervention.
