Thanks for the shoutout. I am the author of Bruno :)

A unique things that seperates bruno from the rest is that it is a "local first" api client.

The collections get stored as folders and files on your local files system (imagine git repo), thereby allowing the developers to use the version control of their choice.

I am only an occasional users, but for me the Firefox Plugin "RESTClient" gets the job done:

https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/restclient

Not sure how this compares to the more sophisticated tools presented here.
