I fire up Fiddler Everywhere on my Mac. Generally, it appears to do nothing.

In further detail, "Stream" and "Decode" can be toggled, but otherwise do nothing. The connections icon has a hover-over describing my host and states I have a network connection. The help icon goes to the very limited documentation via browser. The settings icon pops open the settings dialog, which does appear to save changes, but not impact the "nothing" being done by the application. The capture button and inspectors button appear to do nothing. The main viewing area states "No records available." The area to the right of the main area states "Please, select a single Web Session to inspect." And that is it.

Either I'm doing (or not doing) something dumb, or it just isn't working for me. Any help would be appreciated :)

Fiddler Everywhere is much more advanced than the classic version, but the price is not the only reason why users don't upgrade from the classic version.

User Interface

The user interface does not include native components like Classic Fiddler, which clearly degrades performance, reduces usability, complicates the user interface and certainly makes it difficult for new users to use this tool.

Apart from that the interface grouping is quite bad, for example I want to use Composer when monitoring live traffic, but this is not possible, Fiddler Classic has no such problem.

Also, considering user habits, while everyone is familiar with the operating system interface, the Everywhere user interface requires some getting used to.

Some features that are available in Native UI but not in the Fiddler Everywhere UI;

• Drag & Drop Features
• Ability to do other things while monitoring live traffic (Better multitasking)
• Keyboard integration is very bad (As you can see in the gif, the directional keys don't even change the selection, and therefore the delete key doesn't work as it should, and if you press the delete key while selected, it completely removes the selection instead of selecting the next one.)
• Fiddler Everywhere uses its own Context Menu, which is frankly terrible in terms of user habits and ease of use, it really annoys me to see the opening animation of the context menu every time.

I would expect the interface to be more practical in a programme that is constantly and actively used, and I would prefer the interface to be native rather than working with the browser engine.

(UI is the biggest reason why I didn't switch)

Missing Features

FiddlerScript and Add Ons support is not available. 

General Feedback

Currently, the Export > Raw Files option does not work when the session is "Partial Content" (status 206).

Consider providing support for exporting sessions with status 206

It's very hard to work with input text fields, as most codes are more than 1 line.

I end up just choosing Set Value because of it.

Can you please use textareas both for both highlighted fields?

Thanks!

Consider providing automated support for network-isolated applications like metro-style applications. The feature is available in Fiddler Classic through the WinConfig option

Details on how an application can be exempted from the Windows settings are posted here:

Consider the support of variables and variable environments in Fiddler Everywhere. The base functionality should have:

- Option to create a static variable

- Option to create a dynamic variable (e.g., one populated dynamically from response).

- Options to use variables in Composer, Rules, and Inspectors (e.g. for dynamic population)

- Option to easily access and modify stored variables.

- Option to store variables in different environments (e.g. stage, production, etc.)

- Option to share variables/environments.

Colleagues, please add an essential feature of Fiddler Classic called Automatic breakpoints

I'm sure that a bunch of people will migrate to Fiddler Everywhere if you implement this

Thnx

Fiddler Classic implements and documents this feature. Is this true for Fiddler Everywhere? Can you provide instructions?

I can tell you what does not work on Windows 11:

• Copying my client certificate to $env:USERPROFILE\Documents\FiddlerCore\ClientCertificate.cer

• Copying my client certificate to $env:USERPROFILE\Documents\Fiddler2\ClientCertificate.cer

• Copying my client certificate to $env:USERPROFILE\.fiddler\ClientCertificate.cer

• Copying my client certificate to $env:USERPROFILE\.fiddler\Certificates\ClientCertificate.cer

Please provide detailed instructions for setting this up. Thank you.

Is there any way how to store rules, filters. settings etc. online in Fiddler account (like in Postman etc.) and share between different machines?

If not, is this feature planned?

Consider providing support for basic authentication through the "Set manual proxy configuration" option in the Gateway settings.

For example:

https://username:password@proxy.adresss:9001

Hi,

I would like to make a rule that changes the Comments column to display a value from the Response body. Specifically, I would like the value of "pk" (if available) to show up in the Comments field.

My overall question: Is there a way to reference Response body data in the Rules Builder?

I looked through all the documentation I could find and I didn't see any examples of Actions using dynamic data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
