How do I filter out gear-icon XHR requests in DevTools?

Question

Is there negative filtering pattern to hide this type of requests? I don't mean by domain - in case they would be sent to multiple domains, I would like to filter them all in one go.

Answer 1

That's probably a request from a service worker or web worker.

In Chrome 74 DevTools introduced the is:service-worker-initiated and is:service-worker-intercepted filters. If you add the negative filters to those, e.g. -is:service-worker-initiated -is:service-worker-intercepted that may hide all of the service worker requests.

If the requests are coming from a web worker I'm not sure if there's any way to filter them out.
