Network profiling in VS2019 Community

Has the network profiler been removed?

In previous versions you could select the network profiler but in 2019 I cannot find it. I want to be able to view the network requests my code is making:

I believe that feature was removed, since I also couldn't find it anywhere in VS 2019 anymore.

Also, judging from this article:

With Visual Studio’s new Network tool, developers can now easily record information about all HTTP network operations made through the WinRT HttpClient API including HTTP request and response headers, request and response payloads, cookies and detailed timing information amongst other things. Operations made using the old .NET HttpClient API aren’t captured.

which might be a deal breaker for a lot of people anyway.

With that in mind, you can use a 3rd party tool, like Wireshark, which is a more professional tool IMHO than Fiddler, since it doesn't need to act as a proxy in order to capture network traffic (like Fiddler does), it rather captures packets directly from a network adapter itself.

It can do a lot more than just capture the HTTP traffic and a lot of security experts use it for network packets analysis.
