Configuring Chrome to work with Burp Suite - MacOS - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger published a short guide on configuring Chrome to route through Burp Suite on macOS, covering the Web Proxy (HTTP) settings and noting the Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains field must be empty. The guide states these steps are only needed for manual testing with an external browser, since Burp's own preconfigured browser can be opened from the Proxy > Intercept tab.
What's compelling: The guide's one explicit warning is that a populated bypass list breaks the setup, which is the kind of quiet misconfiguration that leaves a tester's traffic going direct while they believe it is being inspected.
