Created attachment 470893 [details] The network requests table filled to the brim with requests made by an extension. I have the Matter extension installed in Safari to add pages to my queue. The downside of this extension is that, for every single website, it loads a bunch of JS and CSS files automatically, which then appears in the network request list in the dev tools. These requests are almost always irrelevant when the intent of looking at the network table is to see what the site you’re on is doing — not what my password manager needs to parse login forms or what my reading list has to do to work. There’s already a filter menu in the network tab, a “Hide Requests from Extensions" toggle option in that menu would be incredibly helpful when working with the web inspector.

As Ahmad points out, there's filter in the lower-right corner of the Network tab.
