I don't think titles are sufficiently visible for this kind of information. 
They require a brief hover time.  Also, people will generally click the
checkbox, rather than the text, and they'll never see the text when hovering
over the checkbox.

Restored to italic. Here is what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/gsLde.png

     Include the actual bytes sent/received.
-    <i>(This will result in huge log files, and can expose sensitive data)</i>
   </label>
 
   <ul>
     <li>
     <b>TIP</b>: <a href="#" id=capture-view-tip-anchor>logging from the command line</a>.
 
     <div style="display:none; margin-top: 10px" id=capture-view-tip-div>
       Another way to capture network events is by using the command line flag:
       <blockquote>
         --log-net-log=<i>FILENAME</i> [ --net-log-level=<i>NUMBER</i> ]
       </blockquote>
       This will stream the network events directly to a file of your choosing. If you additionally want it to log the network bytes, then pass --net-log-level=0.
