Try a pattern, list matches and groups, and replace.

Input is capped at 20,000 characters and 200 matches so a bad pattern cannot hang the tab forever. It can still be slow.

Type a pattern and a sample. The page lists matches and groups, and it can replace them. The sample stops at 20,000 characters and 200 matches so a bad pattern is less likely to freeze the tab. A pattern can still be slow.
