Google Chrome ¶

Using a Web Browser is the easiest way to profile web applications. Blackfire supports Google Chrome and Firefox.

Installing the Chrome Extension ¶

Upgrading the Extension ¶

The Google Chrome extension should be automatically updated by the Google Chrome Scheduler. However, if a new version is available and your browser doesn't update it, please follow these steps to force the update:

Open chrome://extensions in a new browser tab;
Check the Developer mode at the top right of the screen;
Click the Update extensions now button.

Content Security Policy ¶

The browser extension injects a toolbar in the profiled webpage and uses an <iframe> to communicate with the probe.

In case the web page declares a Content Security Policy regarding frames usages, the communication may be broken and you would be informed in the toolbar.

In this case, you can declare Blackfire domain as trusted by adding the blackfire.io domain in your application's headers:

Content-Security-Policy: frame-src 'self' blackfire.io
