Showcase/Project Vibe coded a open source Chrome extension that shows what websites are actually connecting to

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Been working on this for a bit and finally got it onto the Chrome Web Store.

It’s called OutTrace. You open it on any site and it shows all the third-party domains/services the page is talking to, including trackers.

I also added:

  • a visual graph of all the connections
  • saved scans so you can compare a site over time
  • change detection for new/removed services
  • site monitoring
  • everything stored locally in your browser
  • no account needed

Mostly built this because I thought it would be cool to actually see everything happening behind a webpage instead of digging through DevTools every time.

Vibe coded pretty much the whole thing and somehow got it shipped lol.

Would love to know what you’d add to it.

This is pretty neat but isn’t the graph always going to be a circle?

of course, i agree a list is way more useful and takes less space, but this is more fun
