/ VERIFY
Check it yourself
This page does not ask you to trust us. It asks your own browser to prove that inyourbrowser.com keeps every file you process on your own device. You can do every check on this page without opening developer tools.
1. Watch your browser stop a data request
The button below asks your browser to send a small piece of data to example.com. The browser should refuse, because this site asks it to refuse all outside requests. When you click the button, you will see the actual message your browser gave back.
Click the button below. It will ask your browser to send a request to a different website (example.com). The browser should refuse, because this site tells it to refuse all outside requests. You will see the actual error message your browser gave back.
2. See the live count of data leaving this page
This is the bigger version of the small indicator in the corner of every page. The number on the left is how many requests have actually left your browser since you loaded this page. The number on the right is how many were blocked. Both should be zero, unless you have just clicked the demo above (in which case “blocked” will read 1).
These numbers come from your own browser, not from us. They update live. The first number is how many requests this page has actually managed to send to another website. The second is how many your browser stopped from being sent. Both should usually be zero.
3. See what is stored on your device
The panel below reads directly from your browser, right now, on your device. It shows every cookie, every local storage key, and every database this site has put on your device. The list is almost always empty. The one exception is the theme preference (light or dark) if you have ever toggled it.
Reading from your browser…
What about the camera?
The QR code scannercan use your camera to scan QR codes in real time. The camera turns on only after you click the “Start camera” button. The video stream is read frame by frame in your browser and discarded immediately. It is not recorded and it is not sent anywhere. The same defences above apply to the camera stream.
What if you do not trust the buttons on this page?
Open your browser’s developer tools and check for yourself. We have a separate guide that walks you through it, with the exact tabs to open, the exact commands to type, and what each one means.

What this page does not, and cannot, prove
We have to be honest about the limits of self-serve verification:
- The checks above prove that your browser is currently behaving as described. They do not, on their own, prove the site cannot be changed in the future. Any change we make would have to pass these same browser-level defences, but a future version could ask for them to be relaxed. Reading the response headers on every visit (the technical guide explains how) lets you see the policy directly.
- If you do not trust JavaScript code running in your browser at all, the only complete answer is to disable JavaScript or to use the site in a temporary browser profile or virtual machine. Without JavaScript every tool on this site stops working, because all the work happens in JavaScript on your device.
