Debug Mode

This application relies mainly on e-commerce websites. While testing out the application and bugfixing, it is obvious that we would need to run this application many times. Sometimes, the websites tend to block our requests from accessing the site which is why a debug mode has been created so that we would need not wait for the website to load and fetch HTML every single time.
