Ask HN: What all content can a MitM proxy/app decrypt from the HTTPS traffic?

If I install something like Wireshark, Fiddler or mitmproxy, will I be able to decrypt all HTTPS content flowing from my computer to the application server of interest? If yes, then how to secure web traffic against such activity?
