Review Summary
Users find the 'tweak' extension extremely useful for mocking HTTP requests, with a simple and intuitive interface that saves development time. Its features like regex support enhance usability. However, some UI limitations such as non-resizable windows and scroll issues hinder user experience. Additionally, recent updates caused problems by blocking specific requests, including live streams, and the extension lacks smooth operation across multiple tabs. Overall, it is highly valued but could benefit from improvements to interface flexibility and stability.
