About Ground Fault
Working with this task no longer requires installing heavy desktop software — Ground Fault runs entirely in your browser, instantly. The goal was to keep the path from "open the page" to "get the result" as short as possible. No mandatory account, no cookie wall, no upsell at every step. Like everything else in the utility collection, it is free, ad-light, and works on mobile as well as desktop.
