Q:

Chrome - Only view network activity for "main page" in Dev Tools?

When I load a page in Chrome, and view it in "Chrome Dev Tools | Network", I see the network activity for the page I loaded, and all child resources that are loaded by the page.
Is there anyway I can just view the network activity for the url that's loaded in the address bar ? 
For example, If I typed in "google.com" in the address bar, I'd like to see just the redirects it does, not the child resources of the page.

A:

The best answer I've found is to:

Show the "Priority" column in the "Network Inspector" by right clicking on the Network inspector header and choosing "Priority"
Filter by "priority:Highest"

This includes redirects as well. It also includes other super important requests, but it's the best I've found so far.
