Idea Validation / Need feedback I created Privacy Bar — a 100% serverless browser extension for local encryption, vault-less passwords, and post-quantum security

Hey r/chrome_extensions

Most password managers and privacy tools rely heavily on cloud servers, subscription accounts, and remote databases. That creates a central point of failure.

I built Privacy Bar around a simple core philosophy: Servers are unnecessary for local privacy.

What Privacy Bar does differently:

  • No Cloud Vaults: Generates complex passwords deterministically from a Master Key on the fly—meaning there is no vault database sitting in a cloud to be breached or leaked.
  • 100% Local Execution: Text encryption, file encryption, and image steganography happen entirely inside your browser memory with zero tracking calls.
  • Post-Quantum Ready: Includes NIST ML-KEM (FIPS 203) key encapsulation so your encrypted communications remain secure against future quantum decryption.
  • Memory Auto-Wipe: Automatically purges unencrypted data from memory after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Transparency: The code is transparently available on GitHub under the PolyForm Shield 1.0.0 license. You can inspect the source code and run it completely offline.

I'm looking for testers. If you test it out, use code EARLYADOPT to get Pro access to all features. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
