Chrome offers the possibility to display network requests in two rows, where the URL (and some other information) are shown in a second row.

If find it really hard to read and find a particular request in Firefox. Is it possible to change it and make it better to read?

I am a fan of the expanded mode but fear the downside of it being optional – so most devs will never see it if we follow Chrome's UX too closely.

We also probably want to revisit the column layout when we offer an expanded mode. This will need a lot of UX thinking to not sacrifice the good ideas from the current design.

I would be happy to hear thoughts on this bug on what users like in expanded mode.
