I prefer the "hckr news" extension. In addition to collapse/expand, it has a "[collapse whole thread]' option so that you can do it in the middle of a thread, and most importantly, puts a vertical orange bar to the right of all new messages since I last refreshed or visited the page.

Nice suggestion, I'll try that one out.

I've been using REST Console, which is useful, but sounds like Postman may have more features.

I highly recommend Dev HTTP Client https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dhc-resthttp-api-c...

Postman is an awesome tool that I highly recommend! It's awesome to be able to export your work and share it with co-workers as well.

+1 for Postman, I use it all the time. The history feature is especially great for me.
