Review Summary
Users find Postman Interceptor useful for capturing API requests and integrating with Postman desktop app. However, many face persistent issues such as inability to stop capturing, connection failures (notably on macOS), and confusing setup requirements like mandatory login or workspace switching. Documentation gaps and occasional browser performance problems reduce usability. While it often works well in optimal setups, these problems lead to frequent dissatisfaction and some users uninstall the extension.
Pros
- Works well when properly connected to Postman desktop app and signed in.
- Provides continuous traffic capture useful for API debugging.
- Acts as a replacement for standard 'inspect element' for capturing API calls.
- Has a useful integration to open captured requests directly in Postman app.
Cons
- Difficult to stop capturing requests once started, leading to frustration.
- Frequent issues with connection: 'Interceptor disconnected' especially on macOS and latest Postman versions.
- Requires user to log in or have a workspace switched to start capturing; unclear and confusing setup.
- Poor documentation and lack of official support for certain platforms, e.g., MacOS bridge installation issues.
- Extension sometimes causes browser or page freezing and has been reported as a security risk by some users.
