why should I use this instead of fiddler[0]? [0] https://www.telerik.com/fiddler/fiddler-classic

Fiddler classic is probably fine for Windows users. It's a bit old and unsupported now if I'm not mistaken, but otherwise good IMHO.

New fiddler is not something I would recommend or use, I can't get passed the fact you need to login to it.

Mitm works on Mac and Linux and it's never asked me to login once.

Nice idea but terrible implementation. Mitmproxy solves a lot of annoying problems, but, Python holds it back to such an extent that it's hard to make the case for deploying it in production due to massive inefficiencies. Can't wait for someone to do it in Go.

This banana is delicious but makes for a terrible automobile. I wish someone would make a banana that could get me to work on time.

In other news I know of a MitM proxy that works as advertised, has a decent UI, and is reasonably tasty.

mitmproxy dev here! Happy to answer any questions. Answers may take a while as I'm on a remote mountain hut, but please shoot. :)

Also thanks. The alternatives are expensive or just ass by comparison. Plus the name is cool.

Used it to troubleshoot test-cafe hammerhead which itself is a proxy, but it fails to do its job under more circumstances than you would think.
