Why I stopped pasting into online Fake Data Generator tools

#privacy #security #webdev #javascript

Every online Fake Data Generator tool I used had the same quiet flaw: whatever you
paste gets POSTed to someone's server. For a Fake Data Generator, that paste is often exactly
the sensitive thing — a token, a config, an API response.

So I built Fake Data Generator to not do that. Generate fake names, emails, UUIDs, addresses — custom columns, CSV/JSON export. 100% browser-side — and it runs entirely in your
browser, so there's nothing to send and nothing to breach.

You don't have to take my word for it: open DevTools → Network, use the tool,
and watch the tab stay empty. One HTML file, View-Source-able.
