HAR stands for HTTP Archive and is a container for trace information from within a browser. It records all web requests made by the browser tab (including the request & response headers, the body, and the time it look to load). This makes HAR files very useful when troubleshooting issues you may be seeing in your account. To clarify, the HAR file will only collect HTML/JAVA browsing activity; it is not recording video, audio, or your login credentials. ย
