Is minirep a Burp replacement?

No. It is better described as a browser-native companion to Burp and related security tooling.

Does minirep proxy all browser traffic?

It works through the DevTools context of the inspected tab and is optimized around that working model.

Can I use it without AI?

Yes. Capture, request replay, response inspection, extractor findings, import/export, and the request runner are useful on their own.

Which users benefit most?

• AppSec engineers
• bug bounty researchers
• security-minded frontend and API developers
• QA teams testing request behavior

Does minirep send captured data to a server by default?

No. Captured traffic stays local unless you export it or deliberately use an AI provider with selected context.

What is the easiest way to install it?

Download the pre-built release zip, unzip it, and load the extracted folder that contains manifest.json through chrome://extensions.

Why do I not see requests immediately?

Open DevTools first, then reload the page or generate traffic after the panel is already active.

When should I use Ask mode versus Agent mode?

• use Ask mode when you want understanding, explanation, and targeted reasoning
• use Agent mode when you want bounded audit-style generation and optional auto-run behavior

What makes the docs site useful once Pages is enabled?

It gives the project:

• a cleaner product surface than a repo page alone
• better structure for end users
• a more search-indexable landing surface
• a stronger professional impression for teams evaluating the tool
