In the web development we all use network tab to check the request was successful or not and what data return from the server.some time we have to send that one request without changing other network request and we need to edit or change the request content and check what happen .Firefox allow us to edit and resend the selected request using network tab like below images.

firefox v 75.0(64-bit)
firefox v 75.0(64-bit)

But when it come to Chrome there is no options for edit or resend request

Google Chrome Version 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)

There is way to do that in Chrome Go to Network tab > Right Click on Selected Request > copy > copy as fetch

Google Chrome Version 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Then go to Console tab and paste request and hit the enter you will see the result on your terminal.

Google Chrome Version 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)

if this is hard you can use other 3rd party software like POSTMAN ,Insomnia REST Client, Paw , soapUI etc.

Note : If you found a better solution then we can help each other out by sharing as many reference we can .

Happy Coding ! ❤
