HOW TO prevent AJAX requests within a web page in Chrome after initial load

As a web developer, if you see a need to prevent AJAX requests in Chrome after initial load for a single website, here are the steps  -

1. Use the Ctrl+Shift+I or F12 function key keyboard shortcut in Chrome to invoke Developer Tools

2. Within Dev tools, click on the three vertical dots icon on the right side of the menu, slide down to "More Tools" & select "Network conditions" from the sub menu
3. In the "Network conditions" tab, choose "Offline" in the dropdown against the "Network Throttling" option

This way you can conditionally control AJAX requests for a single website without having to use the other blunt alternative of unplugging the network cable to remove all internet access.
