Browser Session Export Privacy Scrubber
Align Python and browser scrubbing with shared fixtures and add side-by-side strict-sharing previews with retained-field summaries.
The problem it solves
Browser Session Export Privacy Scrubber [](https://github.com/loganpendragonmultiverse/browser-session-export-privacy-scrubber/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
Who Browser Session Export Privacy Scrubber is for
- People handling browser, web, or document data who want a local and inspectable workflow.
- Users working with privacy, browser sessions, data sanitization who want the documented v1.2.0 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result
Align Python and browser scrubbing with shared fixtures and add side-by-side strict-sharing previews with retained-field summaries.
This summary is reconciled from the current catalog and repository documentation.
Features in v1.2.0
Capabilities below come from the current project README and release documentation.
[](https://github.com/loganpendragonmultiverse/browser-session-export-privacy-scrubber/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
Create sanitized copies of browser-session JSON exports before sharing them. The local CLI and dependency-free browser interface remove URL credentials, redact query values and fragments, hide private or selected hosts, optionally detect sensitive text, and produce value-free audit evidence.
Verified examples
Screenshots are shown only when the current README references a local source image. Otherwise, repository example files are linked directly.
Platforms and implementation
The public release claims only the cataloged platforms and technologies.

What changed in v1.2.0
Align Python and browser scrubbing with shared fixtures and add side-by-side strict-sharing previews with retained-field summaries.
session-export-scrub --write-browser session-review.htmlThe self-contained browser UI and Python engine share fixtures for private/public IPv6, mapped IPv4, noncanonical numeric hosts, percent-encoded/repeated query keys, private-host opt-out, unknown JSON shapes, detectors and strict profiles. --profile strict redacts free-text strings and removes URL paths/query data; field names, structure, numbers/booleans and public hosts remain, so anonymity is not guaranteed. --compare-policy adds value-free retained-field/count comparisons to CLI audits. The browser compares selected and strict policies, imports/exports complete policies and downloads separate sanitized files/audits. --write-browser exports the bundled interface from the installed wheel. Existing URL credential removal, duplicates and fragments are preserved or redacted according to explicit rules; private-host checkbox behavior, IPv6 brackets, malformed-port handling and filename HTML injection are corrected. Desktop/mobile localhost QA passed; file-scheme offline launch is not claimed because the available browser blocks that scheme.
Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
python -m pip install .
session-export-scrub export.json --output sanitized.json --audit audit.json
session-export-scrub export.json --output sanitized.json --policy examples/policy.json
session-export-scrub first.json second.json --output-dir sanitized --audit batch-audit.jsonFor a visual workflow, open web/index.html in a current browser. Drop one or more exports onto the page, adjust or import a policy, inspect the before/after preview, and download each sanitized file and audit. The page is self-contained and makes no network requests.
Tabitha Workspaces version 1 exports are identified explicitly. Other JSON objects and arrays use the generic adapter. The source is read-only and existing output or audit files are never overwritten.
Current limitations
These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
Processing is local with no network requests, storage service, telemetry, or account. The audit records counts, rule settings, adapter, and a sanitized-output fingerprint without retaining original sensitive values.
Detectors are intentionally conservative and can miss or overmatch unusual values. Structural rules cannot understand every export format or identify secrets hidden in encoded payloads, filenames, unexpected keys, or arbitrary prose. Before/after previews contain the original values and should only be used on a trusted device. Always inspect the sanitized copy before sharing it, and never treat an audit as proof that a document is anonymous.
Privacy and licensing
Review the actual data boundary before using a tool with sensitive inputs.
