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"

      But with your data encrypted, why do you need to trust anyone? For you it is the state of your browser, passwords etc, but for anyone else it is random bits.

      Doesn't Browser sync already supports encrypting your data? Even if it doesn't I am sure this capability can be added now that it is open-source.

    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...

    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.
