#2Your questions is rather general. But a try:
"What’s the best Postman alternative if privacy is a concern — Postmate Client vs. Thunder Client?"
- Always use a local client (100%) that you fully control. - Be aware tat many providers have advanced finger printing techniques. So reaching out to a remote API is always a severe privacy risks! At least when you make an API call from you 'own' computer/home/work to an API-service. - Most 'tools' for making API tools use telemetry. If you use a tool within a IDE that uses Telemetry you could be harmed twice. (E.g. VSCode with Thunder Client)
Re: Data Privacy while using API tools
#3It depends on what you mean by "privacy."There are at least three separate concerns:
Does the client send telemetry? Does it sync your collections or API definitions to a cloud service? Do your API requests transit through a third-party server, or are they sent directly from your machine?
Those matter much more than whether the client is Postman, Thunder Client, or something else.

#10Bruno è una scelta solida se il punto è "nessuna telemetria, nessun sync cloud" —
è open source e le request restano locali per design, a differenza di Postman
che sincronizza tutto sul loro cloud di default.
