What network request are you expecting to see that you are not seeing?

Right now I got a complete list, but sometimes on other sites also it shows only blocked requests, all in red color, but I could see many requests unlisted. Will share the screenshot next time when I catch this issue again.

It should be noted that Requests only show network requests. It doesn't show access to the cache. So, for example, if you load one page from a URL and then load another page from the same URL that use common assets, like CSS files, the second page will load those common files from the cache (or load the cached result of them being blocked) without making any network requests and without populating any information into Requests.

I think it would be really nice to have information about what is being loaded from the cache, or to be able to disable it entirely. But those are outside the scope of Requests, and, as far as I can tell, neither of those things are possible with Android System WebView.

The request shows up just fine for me (see attached screenshot).

However, if you load the page with JavaScript disabled and then enable it, that will cause the page to refresh. When it does, the image is already in the cache, so no network request is made as described in comment 3 above.

This same behavior exists if you change cookies or DOM storage or the User Agent or anything else that causes the page to refresh.

Perhaps it would be possible to maintain the list of previous requests when reloading a website. I will have to look into how feasible that would be.

When I visited this website, no requests shown.

Looking at this video, my guess would be it is because all the information is already in the cache. Please read over comment number 3 above.

I would recommend you retest by first closing Privacy Browser. If you have the default settings for Clear and Exit (see attached screenshot), then your cache will be deleted. Then start Privacy Browser and load the website and you should see the network requests.
