Site 5: regex101.com — The Honorable Mention What it does: Regular expression testing and debugging Why it is different: regex101.com stands out as significantly more privacy-respecting than the others tested. Here is what they do right:

My boy regex101, sorry if I ever doubted you.

I love you

Well, nice to have validation of my feeling that what passes for “developers” nowadays are clueless idiots far more often than it used to be.

I have never understood how a dev can be comfortable pasting a valid jtw Auth token into a random website to decode it, when there are several very good cli tools that will do this for you locally, faster, and much more securely

That /unsaved/{id} path with a unique server-assigned identifier means your diff content was transmitted to and stored on their servers.

Not necessarily. URLs can be changed client-side, within the browser, through JavaScript. The fact that the URL changed to unsaved alone is no proof. It could very well be browser-local, labeled unsaved and held in session store for example, ready to be saved.

With the other indications, you can of course make a guess and/or consider it a strong indication.

It should be pretty obvious/observable when observing interaction and network requests within the browser. A network request with the content as body would be much better proof.

Yeah and this isn’t exclusive to dev tools. Shit like that is why I run umatrix in strict mode with JS disabled by default.
