Mozilla/Firefox developed the Midori core, a fantastic kernel and excellent foundation for developing a web browser alternative to Chromium. However, we don’t want to depend on Mozilla; we don’t want almost omnipresent telemetry throughout the kernel. It’s no secret that Gecko/Firefox has increasingly invasive telemetry, and although their solutions use end-to-end encryption, telemetry is present before that. For this reason, we decided to launch our own sync service called Midori Sync, which uses an Astian accounts.
This is a completely open-source service applicable to any browser based on Gecko/Firefox, and it can be an initiative for other Gecko-based browsers to contribute to its improvement and adaptation.
This is a completely open-source service applicable to any browser based on Gecko/Firefox, and it can be an initiative for other Gecko-based browsers to contribute to its improvement and adaptation. Its features are:
- EE2E
- Client-side AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2 + HKDF key derivation.
- Firefox Sync Storage 1.5 + custom TokenServer.
- Laravel.
- VueJS.
- Exchange Authentik Bearer token for Hawk credentials
What synchronizes?
- Tabs
- History
- Bookmarks
- New tabs preferences
- Workspaces
- and more
This tool will be gradually integrated into Midori, and in version 12 we expect it to be fully integrated into Midori desktop and Midori for Android.
Thank you.
