Developers often struggle to debug URL redirects, which can involve multiple hops across domains. A tool that visualizes these paths would save time and effort.

The extension would capture and display redirect chains in a clear, interactive format. It could include details like status codes and headers.

Developers or companies would pay for advanced features like API integrations or historical data.

The MVP could focus on basic visualization for a single session.

The biggest risk is competition from existing debugging tools like Chrome DevTools.
