I built TechReveal: A fast, private Wappalyzer alternative for inspecting website tech stacks

Hey devs! 👋

I got tired of tech stack extensions (like Wappalyzer and BuiltWith) becoming slow, tracking browsing history, and locking basic data behind paywalls.

So I built TechReveal—a modern, lightweight, and 100% private Chrome extension to inspect website technologies in real time.

🚀 Key Features:

  • 100% Private & Client-Side: Runs locally in your browser sandbox. Zero telemetry, no data collection, no tracking.
  • Clean Version Detection: Displays accurate framework and library versions without visual clutter.
  • Interactive Architecture Map: Visualizes how frontend, backend, and analytics components connect.
  • Security Radar: Scans for missing security headers and exposed sensitive endpoints.
  • Zero Lag: Highly optimized engine that never slows down your browsing experience.

It's completely free:

👉 Get TechReveal on Chrome Web Store

I'd love your honest feedback and suggestions for new technologies to detect! Let me know below. 👇
