When you want to filter network requests in the Network panel and see only requests done by the fetch API you have to select the filter "XHR"

While XMLHttpRequest is a big part of front-end history and it's still available, the Fetch API is now replacing it. In my experience as a trainer, I've found lately that many web developers with 2 years of experience in the field don't recognize XHR as something they understand as they've never dealt with XHR requests using that API.

It may be a good time to rename the filter to "Fetch" or at least something like "XHR/Fetch"
