Features Comparison#

The features of the full version (Header Editor) and the lite version (Header Editor Lite) are different as follows:

• Firefox browser

Feature	Full	Lite
Basic functions	✅	✅
DNR mode	✅	✅
Rules - Exclude - Regular Expression	✅	✅
Custom functions	✅	❌
Modify response body	✅	❌

• Chrome/Edge browser

Feature	Full	Lite
Basic functions	✅	✅
DNR mode	❌	✅
Rules - Exclude - Regular Expression	✅	❌
Custom functions	✅	❌
Modify response body	❌	❌

Notes:

• The Lite version has better performance. If there is no specific requirement, it is recommended to use the Lite version.
• The "exclude" for Chrome/Edge browser will be supported in other ways in subsequent versions, but they not be completely consistent with the current support methods, and manual migration may be required.
• If the corresponding feature is not supported, the entire rule will not take effect, but will still be retained. You can wait for subsequent versions to support it, or manually migrate to other browsers through the "Import and Export".

Basic usage#

• Click the HE icon in the upper right corner of your browser to open the HE Management Panel
• Create a new rule: Click the Add button in the lower right corner, fill in the rules, and save.
• Alternatively, you can download the rules of others in "Import and Export".
