### Local Privacy Browsing Isolation Create and switch between independent browsing environments. Each space maintains its own tabs, history, downloads, and data scope, allowing you to separate private activities from regular browsing. ### File Isolation & Local File Space A built-in local file system organizes content into documents, media, downloads, and shared items. Supports folder browsing, importing, creating, renaming, moving, and copying for consistent local file management. ### Integrated Browsing & Local Tools Bookmarks, history, downloads, media player, scanner, and page tools are unified in one place. Content generated during browsing can be directly managed locally without switching apps. ### Local Media Playback Supports audio and video playback with playlists, recent history, playback speed control, and A-B loop functionality—ideal for handling downloaded or local media. ### Remote Collaboration Supports device discovery and connection, enabling message, file, and tab sharing across devices for a more connected workflow. --- OneBrowser is designed for users who need clear separation between work, personal, and private content on a single device. It is not just a browser—it is a local browsing workspace. ---

Strait is a privacy-first network path inspector for your active browser tab. WHAT YOU SEE - Tab exit IP — IPv4 and IPv6, with ASN, owner, and coarse location - Native/system exit IP — for side-by-side comparison - iCloud Private Relay verdict — active, shadowed by VPN, or not observed, classified against Apple's published egress IP ranges - VPN-like interface and system proxy state — based on the default route, not just utun presence - TLS snapshot — version, ALPN, certificate leaf, issuer, and expiry from a native probe (clearly labeled as Strait's probe, not the browser's reused connection) - DNS comparison — system resolver vs. DNS-over-HTTPS - WebRTC leak check — surfaces public srflx candidates that bypass the tab's exit ONE-TAP COPYABLE REPORT Every check produces a clean text report you can paste into a bug ticket, a forum post, or a chat with your network admin. The copy report is the power-user source of truth. HONEST UNCERTAINTY Strait labels every value with its source and confidence. When timing data is hidden, when a probe is from the companion instead of the tab connection, or when a result is inferred — the UI says so. PRIVACY BY CONSTRUCTION - No analytics, no telemetry, no remote logging - No account, no sign-in - No browsing history or per-host log leaves the device - External calls are limited to documented probe endpoints and only run when you check a tab - Strait does not route your traffic — it is not a VPN WHO IT'S FOR - iCloud+ subscribers who want a readable answer to "is Private Relay doing anything here?" - Privacy-sensitive users who run VPNs and want to verify them - Web, SRE, and security debugging users who need a compact browser-side network report WHAT STRAIT IS NOT Not a VPN. Not a packet sniffer. Not a passive collector of browsing history. Not a replacement for Web Inspector. Strait is a focused, on-demand path inspector. TO ENABLE Strait ships as a Safari Web Extension. After installing, open Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions and turn on Strait. Then tap the Strait icon in the browser toolbar on any page.
