Google Open Sources Browser Sync

Posted by samzenpus on from the free-for-all dept.

Dan Berlin writes "After announcing that Browser Sync was being discontinued, a lot of people asked for Google to open source the code so development could continue. Well, they've done just that. The code for browser sync is now available on code.google.com, and a blog post about the release can be found on the Google open source blog"

    I can't imagine a company that actually does what the public asks? They must have a secret agenda!

    If they're not going to develop it any further, they might as well let someone else have a go. Now all we have to do is convince Microsoft to release the source code to Windows ME.

      Whereas Browser Sync is in the interest of technology/simplicity, I'd see the source code of Windows ME being released in the interest of tragic comedy more than anything...

    Why do they even bother with modding something already at ZERO to -1? It only makes it more true...

    my settings is set to give trolls +1 and flamebait +2.
    It's often some of the most humerous and insightful comments. At other times it's just gay fiction.
