Hmm. Lemme step back and see if I can clarify.
The first step is to make the recording. That does currently require that you download our custom fork of Firefox, which has been instrumented to capture all the OS syscalls. (We also have a Node fork for CI usage, and are working on Chrome for Mac support). In the FF browser, sign in to Replay so it knows who's making the recording. Open the app you want to debug, press the "Record" button, reproduce the issue, and hit "Stop". That uploads the recording data to the cloud. So, no other "script tags" or anything. It's about recording all browser operations as you interact with a given page, while you have the "Record" button active.
The "client" that I'm referring to is https://app.replay.io https://app.replay.io . This is just a standard web app, and you can use any browser to open that page, log in, and start debugging. (I typically do my dev work in Chrome, personally.) If you're seeing problems with that, I'm very curious what's going on - we've had some backend issues this week, but I haven't seen any reports of client-side bugs.
The data that gets uploaded to the Replay cloud is exactly what _you_ had in the FF browser as you were navigating that page and recording it. So, sure, if you had open a proprietary page, the data from that page is getting uploaded. However, the recording itself is private by default, so only you have access to it, and Replay's client UI will tell you what sorts of domains have data included in the recording as you're looking at it.
Happy to chat more about all this if you'd like. Best place would be to drop by our Discord ( https://replay.io/discord https://replay.io/discord ) - feel free to ping me directly if you do.
