I find myself most of the times looking for the particular tab that I opened the logger from to check the requests that came from it for an analysis.
But going over the 200+ tabs that I have opened consistently makes this task very frustrating at times.

Also, most of users, I believe, want to analyze a particular page rather than all the tabs (because the uBlock popup is per site/page),
so I think It's more logical to open the logger for the tab that it was opened from instead of the "All" selection.

*If the user just opened the logger manually (by say entering the full path), just revert to the current behavior.

Please, I rather not have feature requests for the DOM inspector. I obviously have thought of many of the suggestions you have submitted, and as spelled out in CONTRIBUTING.md, do not submit feature requests.

Sure thing, just wanted to open them for tracking purposes and to discuss them with you.
I'm not a mind reader :)

p.s.: this feature request is the sole feature request which isn't about the DOM inspector, but the logger.

Sorry to hijack the issue, but while we're on the topic of the logger and I don't want to open another non-issue - please consider ordering the tabs in the logger drop down like the tabs in the browser's tab bar, instead of sorting them alphabetically. I think that would be more intuitive as you could just look for the "2nd tab from the right" instead of finding the tab title in the alphabetically sorted drop down.

gorhill, feel free to ignore this comment, I just wanted it to be seen by you. The sorting is down to personal preference and for Mikey1993's use case with 200+ tabs, alphabetical sorting is probably better.

Actually, I didn't realize this one is not about the DOM inspector, so my comment above should have been made in one of the DOM inspector issues opened, not this one.

In general, when a feature is new, there is an implicit warning to not file feature requests -- an implicit warning which I made explicitly once, so I am assuming it is understood.

That said, I can see how the current feature here is useful if one has 200 tabs opened.
