Review Summary

Users find Request Interceptor easy to use, effective at modifying request headers, and valuable for redirecting requests. However, several users express frustration over the lack of documentation and guidance, limited features such as inability to modify response bodies and dynamic URLs, and some interface usability issues like non-obvious save buttons and the need to refresh for changes to take effect. Overall, it's seen as a useful free tool with room for improvement in flexibility and user support.
