Shame it doesn't change URL for different tools, would be useful for bookmarking

It should be set up to change the URL hash field with each different recipe you create. For instance, the URL for 'From_Base64' is:

https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=From_Base64('A-Za-z...

Let us know if it's not working on your device, :)

Cheers brother

Bookmarks are supported, but they work with input and recipe. I.E.:

https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=To_Base64('A-Za-z0-...

A use case could be to build a recipe to encrypt a message with your public key. Post the link on your website, now anyone can click the link and encrypt a message to you.

Becareful with that approach. I saw a company that used the QR generator function to setup MFA/TOTP codes on phones. I filed a bug since they were sending the TOTP seeds to a third party. It's a little silly in this case, since cyberchef is open source and the seed shouldn't leave the browser, but it's still a third party and it's easy to generate the codes in your own page.
