Yes. The tool is free and runs directly in your browser with no account required.
No. Processing happens locally in the browser tab. Neither text block is sent to a server.

The tool works well for typical text snippets, configs, and documents. Extremely large files (thousands of lines) may render slowly depending on your browser and device.
Yes, the diff is character-sensitive by default, so whitespace and formatting differences will appear as changes even if the visible text looks identical.
