Strait vs Grom Browser

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.
