Permanently hide extension requests from Network tab

Reported by sascha...@googlemail.com, Nov 24 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install an extension like StayFocusd
2. Open developer tools
3. Load any page

What is the expected behavior?
I would only like to see the requests from the page I am currently working on and not calls from any extension that also reads data.

What went wrong?
I get a ton of calls from extensions. I know that we can use filters like "-scheme:chrome-extension" to hide extension for the current session but this is just temporarily until the tools are closed. Please either implement a "Hide extension calls" option or add permanent filters to Chrome.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.94  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

This has also been asked in  issue #239401  but the issue has been closed as duplicate.

We can implement an opt-out for this, but since network is still going to be busy with the extensions' loads, network profile will be skewed.

It would be great to have the opt-out possibility to just concentrate on the calls and elements of the page we (the developers) are currently working on. If it comes to doing this like speed testing or load optimization, one can still switch to incognito window without any extensions and trace the network traffic in there. But when it comes to developing, a lot still have their special "tools" (meaning Developer extensions like Color pickers, custom scripts and such) that may mess with the network tab.

Anyway, thanks for considering a future option!
Sorry, I meant " ... things like speed testing ...", not "... this like ...".
