I have a few things that have been bothering me forever.

Push Notifications Prompts break the back button. Many times I hit a search result on Google, find the page is irrelevant but I can't go back. That's because the page has prompted a push notification. I can't scroll either. It blocks the whole UI. That's very disruptive.

Second, while Postman is wonderful, Chrome's network tab is the super convenient. A very small change to allow replay requests to work via a keyboard shortcut would make a significant impact on the dev cycle. The use-case is to modify the server code then replay the request, rinse, repeat. The alternative is to copy-as-curl or proxy via postman, etc.

Yeah, replaying requests is a feature request we get often. I’ll add your comment to the tracker.

I haven’t heard of that problem with push notifications. That’s not our area but I’ll forward it to the Chrome team.

Any chance of being able to save the network filter? It takes ages to re-enter a set of filters for request type, source, name etc. on every page refresh, to the point where I've got a bookmarklet so I can at least just copy and paste it in every time.
