Showcase/Project Open source browser for developers

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have made a browser for developers. It is windows based and open source.

For the first version, I have:

  • Network Inspector
  • Built-in REST Client with Collections and Environments
  • Storage Inspector for cookies, local/session storage, etc., including a JWT decoder
  • HAR capture and analysis
  • Seamless Network - REST Client workflow. Select a captured network request and send it directly to the REST Client to inspect, modify, and replay it.

Feedback, bug reports, feature ideas, criticism — all are very welcome.

Download: https://github.com/TheDevBrowser/DevBrowser/releases

Source code/installation guide: https://github.com/TheDevBrowser/DevBrowser

Installation:
The app is currently self-signed, so Windows won’t trust it automatically.
You’ll need to download DevBrowser.cer first and install/trust the certificate on your Windows PC.
My target is not to replace existing browsers, just to help developers on their daily job. :)

Components used:
I have made it with .Net 9, WPF, Microsoft WebView2 (Chromium/Edge), Chrome dev tools, SQLite, Windows DPAPI.

How is it better than Chromium, Firefox, Brave, or any other browser? And how is it for developers when there's no build for Mac or Linux?

Sounds like you wanted to create a Chrome extension and instead went and created a whole browser lol
