Can I get some basic protection of a test website in Firebase Hosting?

Since HTTP auth seems impossible on Firebase Hosting, is there a quick hack like the "obfuscating folder" here: Github Auth Proxy to protect my app source code pre release?

Like changing some rewrites in firebase.json?

I tried stuff like this (which does not work):

"rewrites": [
  {
    "source": "**",
    "destination": "/uselessIndex.html"
  },
  {
    "source": "/supersecretFolder",
    "destination": "/index.html"
  }
]

Btw.: The recommended solution is a bit overkill for my purposes: Protect with Cloud Functions

It's not possible to "protect" any content deployed to Firebase Hosting. Once deployed, the content is all accessible for anyone who knows the URL. There is no obfuscation.
