Chrome extensions are a supply chain risk - build your own instead

JSON Formatter started injecting ads. Chrome extensions are a supply chain risk. I built my own replacement in under an hour with Claude.

of course, this code is complete AI slop. Right off the bat, headers aren’t passed for POST/PUT/DELETE. Both the help and -v options flat out lie about what was sent. Literally half of the flags are no-ops. Oh, and it just silently drops authentication, so that’s fun. But somehow your “99 fuzz harnesses” didn’t catch that.

Think your provider’s down? Introducing Updog.ai, a free public-facing web page from Datadog that provides live health status for 30 popular SaaS providers (including OpenAI, Zoom, and GitHub) and 13 AWS services. Instead of depending on provider updates, Updog.ai is powered by aggregated, anonymized observability data and AI models. Whether you’re a Datadog customer or not, you can quickly see which services are impacted and stay informed during outages, all in one place. 🔗 updog.ai/
