About
Dev-tools is an open source collection of browser based tools for use in software development. The goals of these tools are:
- Provide a simple, easy to use interface
- Be lightning fast
- Have a strong privacy and security focus
- Be accessible and responsive
- Be useful
Privacy and Security
Privacy and security are a major focus. Very often, formatting, diffing or encoding/decoding involves sensitive data, and great care should be taken that this data is not sent to any other server. Indeed, this is often a strict company policy or legal requirement. To support this, your data will reside entirely in the browser. To support privacy and security, this site:
- Processes all data client side (in your browser)*
- Does not use any cookies
- Does not use client analytics, such as Google Analytics
- Does not use trackers, such as pixel trackers
- Does not use ads
* When using the password generator, generating new passwords will send the first 5 characters of the SHA1 hash of the password to the Have I Been Pwned API to determine if the generated password has been published in a previous data breach. For more details on the security and privacy behind this, see the API docs. For greater privacy, this option may be disabled.
