Fangler: A Chrome Add-on for Defanging and Refanging URLs
Fangler is a free Chrome add-on developed by brycebware. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This handy extension is designed for security-minded web users and researchers who often need to render a URL inert or "defang" it for safe sharing.
With Fangler, defanging URLs becomes a breeze. Simply right-click on a URL and select the defang option from the context menu. The extension will then copy the defanged URL to your clipboard, allowing you to safely share it without any security concerns. Additionally, Fangler provides the option to refang or restore a defanged URL to its functional form.
One of the standout features of Fangler is its ability to prioritize selected text or right-clicked links on a web page. This means that if you have a specific URL in mind, you can easily defang it with just a few clicks. However, if no specific URL is selected, Fangler will automatically copy the URL of the current page.
Overall, Fangler is a simple yet effective tool for defanging and refanging URLs. Its seamless integration into Chrome's context menu makes it incredibly convenient to use. Whether you're a security-conscious individual or a researcher, Fangler can help you ensure safe sharing of URLs.
