24 alternatives to Firefox addon to quarantine a tab to use offline with private data

Introducing QuaranTab: Companion extension to quarantine tabs so you can safely use them offline with private data I find myself wanting to use online format parsers to quickly decode that production JWT or decode a base64 Authorization header but cannot trust these websites to not leak my information. I thought to myself if only I could cut-off network access to this site, use it offline, and then throw away all browsing data. So I created an extension just for that. It uses Firefox contextual identities API (Containers) to isolate browsing data and inter-tab communication. Once the site is…

    Sometimes you might want to share a screenshot of the website you're on, without revealing the personal data that is visible at that time. With Obfuscate, you can make text unreadable without changing the structure of the web page. Hit the extension button or press Alt+Shift+O to activate for the current page. (Note that extensions can't modify the add-on website, so trying it on there won't work.) Credit for the original idea: https://chaos.social/@maris/108379386421123630

    Hi HN, I'm Tyler Flint, one of the creators of qtap. For a while now, my team and I at Qpoint.io have been grappling with the challenge of understanding what's actually happening inside the encrypted traffic leaving our production systems. Modern apps rely heavily on third-party APIs (think payment processors, data providers, etc.), but once TLS kicks in, figuring out exactly what data is being sent, identifying PII exposure, or debugging integration issues becomes incredibly difficult without resorting to complex and often brittle solutions. Traditional approaches like forward proxies…

    OP here. I built this because I recently caught myself almost pasting a block of logs containing AWS keys into Claude. The Problem: I need the reasoning capabilities of cloud models (GPT/Claude/Gemini), but I can't trust myself not to accidentally leak PII or secrets. The Solution: A Chrome extension that acts as a local middleware. It intercepts the prompt and runs a local BERT model (via a Python FastAPI backend) to scrub names, emails, and keys before the request leaves the browser. A few notes up front (to set expectations clearly): Everything runs 100% locally. Regex detection…

    Hi HN, I'm Tyler Flint. Eight months ago we shared qtap here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43928118). Today we're releasing DevTools - a browser-based interface that gives you the Chrome Network tab experience for server-side HTTP/S traffic. The problem: You're debugging a production issue. An external dependency is returning errors. Your logs say "request failed" but not what was actually sent. Adding debug logging means redeploying and restarting services - which takes time and often changes the conditions you're trying to debug. tcpdump shows encrypted blobs.…
