Features unique to native apps:
Cookies
Native applications allow you to use cookies directly. Unlike the Chrome app, no separate extension (Interceptor) is required.
acting
The native app comes with a built-in proxy that you can use to capture packets.
Menu Bar
With the native app, you can create collections, switch to history requests, and more.
headers
The latest version of the native app lets you send headers like Origin and User-Agent. These are restricted in Chrome apps.
don't follow redirects
This option exists in native applications to prevent requests that return 300 series responses from being automatically redirected. Previously, users needed to use a blocker extension to do this in the Chrome app.
console
The latest version of the native app also has a built-in console to view network request details for API calls.
