Fiddler not working in Chrome

A colleague in work showed me Fiddler the other day. For the kind of work we do it's really handy. I decided to install it on my home PC today but for some reason it doesn't seem to work the way I need it to in Chrome.

When I load a page in Chrome nothing happens in Fiddler, but it works fine in IE and FF? I also seem to be getting a lot of weird stuff like this: Fiddler

Any help would be great, I'm well and truly confused!

Thanks :)

NOTE - A similar question said to turn off filters? As far as I can see, they're already off

How do I get my Fiddler to work?

You can use Fiddler to create an HTTP session of the monitored web application. In Fiddler, go to Tools > Fiddler Options > HTTPS. Select Capture HTTPS CONNECTs and Decrypt HTTPS traffic. Go to File > Capture Traffic or press F12 to turn off capturing.

Why is Fiddler not capturing traffic?

Sometimes when you are trying to capture browser traffic for debugging, Fiddler does not capture the same. One of the options to try is to make sure that the “Use Filters” checkbox is unchecked in the “Filters” tab in Fiddler. You can also troubleshoot filters to see which filters are hiding your traffic.

How do I connect my Fiddler to my browser?

To capture HTTP traffic from Firefox 4+, either: Click Tools > Monitor with Fiddler > Use Fiddler automatically to configure with FiddlerHook, or. Click Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Settings > Use System Proxy Settings.

Fixed this one myself after some playing around.

In Chrome I have an extension called Media Hint which lets me enable/disable it to watch US Netflix from the UK. This apparently changes my proxy settings, which I suppose makes sense. But for Fiddler to capture any traffic I guess it looks for the default proxy setting. So that's what was causing it to not capture anything

And as for the red stuff, not sure what it means or does, but Help > Turn off Troubleshoot Filters gets rid of this!

Hopefully that helps anyone else in my situation :)
