HAR (HTTP Archive Format) provides a recording of the network requests the browser made while rendering a page. This is useful for engineers to diagnose issues where the user might be getting the wrong data, corruption or page load issues.

Keep in mind that HAR files can contain sensitive data, including the content of the pages you accessed while recording. This can include session information and details of your credentials.
