Disable WebSocket connections in Chrome DevTools Network Viewer
I am trying to use the Chrome DevTools Network Viewer to inspect WebSocket frames. I'm not sure if I have encountered a bug or something that I am doing wrong. Essentially, by checking for frames, whenever a new frame is received, the Network Viewer will bounce / cancel the websocket connection. This is especially bad when "ping" messages are sent every 5-10 seconds, as it makes it impossible to keep the frame open.
My Chrome version is 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)
Steps to reproduce:
- Press F12 to open DevTools
- Go to http://www.websocket.org/echo.html
- Check the box next to "Use secure WebSocket (TLS)" and click "Connect"
- In DevTools, go to the Network tab and find your web chat connection for chat (wss: //echo.websocket.org/? Encoding = text), select it and view the frames.
- Click Send on the page to send your message.
- The web directory element "? Encoding = text" in the network list will be deselected and the frame view is gone.
Any ideas?

I found a workaround that you can use until this error is fixed.
Apply search filter to get the required websocket request as a displayable, now the selected blue bg will be hidden and the frames tab will not be closed.
Useful filters:
- is: running will show the currently active websocket request.
- domain: requireddomain.com will filter the required domain
