Any chance of a Firefox extension? I'd love to play with this, but I don't allow Chrome on my personal devices.

Nice one. How does this relate to/differ from Chrome Devtool's inbuilt network throttling feature? I usually use this Chrome feature to test apps over bad/slow network.

Sounds similar to Toxiproxy, Trixter, or Speed bump, but with a control in Chrome.
