Wireshark doesn`t see http

I installed wireshark on ubuntu, run capture on "wlp2s0f0" and load some pages in browser. But when I enter filter http in wireshark, I don`t see anything. What I do wrong and how I can solve this problem?

The value http seems to be a valid display filter, and a quick check here seems to work okay:

So, perhaps something else is going on here. A couple of things to check:

• Are you capturing on the correct interface? You can confirm which interface your request would be routed through, via ip route get <ip>
• Do you see the HTTP requests in the unfiltered view?
• Do you see any packets in the unfiltered view? By default, all captured packets should be displayed. If you see nothing (and you're sure there's network activity), you may be capturing on the wrong interface.
• Are you sure that your browser is performing HTTP requests (on port 80), and not HTTPS?
