Burp's browser - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Suite ships with its own preconfigured browser that automatically routes in-scope traffic through Burp's proxy, so HTTPS testing works on first launch without additional setup. While a tester browses, default live tasks passively crawl and audit visited locations, populating the site map and reporting potential security issues as they are identified.
What you should know: The tool removes the configuration step that often separates a tester from a working proxy, and its passive crawl and audit run on every page visited - so the coverage of a manual test depends on where the tester actually browses.
