Configuring Chrome to work with Burp Suite - Windows - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's documentation explains that using Chrome with Burp Suite requires configuring the browser's proxy settings, and that these steps are only needed for manual testing with an external browser. It notes that Burp's own preconfigured browser can be opened instead via the Proxy > Intercept tab by clicking Open Browser.
Why it matters: The guidance exists because an external browser only routes traffic through Burp Proxy once its proxy settings are changed, so a tester who skips that step is not inspecting the traffic they think they are.
