I Built a Suite of Free, Privacy-First Browser Extensions – No Ads, No Tracking

I'm Arun, and I've been quietly building a collection of lightweight browser tools under the name HashPal Labs. These tools are designed to do one thing well — without ads, tracking scripts, analytics, or bloated features.

They're all open-source, minimal, and focused on developer utility, productivity, and privacy. If you love tools that work without spying on you, you might enjoy this suite.

🔧 HashPal Labs Extension Suite
🔹 Email Validator
Quickly check if an email is properly formatted and potentially valid. Perfect for devs testing forms or doing lead filtering.

🔹 JSON Formatter
Paste or load any JSON and get clean, readable formatting with collapsible nodes. Offline and no data ever leaves your browser.

🔹 Web Detective
Inspect web pages for metadata, tech stacks, headers, and more — right from your browser. Great for SEO or dev audits.

🔹 Scribbler
A minimalist note-taking extension that stores your notes locally. No signups. No sync. Just your thoughts, instantly.

🔹 Simple To-Do List
Manage your tasks with a clean, distraction-free to-do list — no accounts, no sync, just local storage.

🔹 Online Voice Recorder
Record your voice directly from the browser and save it locally as audio. No uploads, no tracking — great for content or quick memos.

🔹 Simple Browser Notepad
A sticky-note style tool built into your browser. Useful for quick code snippets, links, or reminders.

🔹 Search Assistor
Helps you auto-complete and refine searches more efficiently across major engines. Boost your daily search game.

🔹 Email Capture Tool
Extracts emails from web pages you visit — useful for lead research (and yes, it's privacy-respecting and local-only).

🔹 Simple Spreadsheet
A lightweight spreadsheet interface inside your browser — perfect for quick tabulation without opening Excel or Google Sheets.

🙏 Final Note:
All extensions are built with love and a deep respect for your privacy. They're free, open-source, and available on the Chrome Web Store and GitHub.
