xSync

Sync and manage tabs between different browsers.

How it works

  • The user logs in with a user key and can see the tabs from all the logged-in browsers. This key is personal and should be kept private (since anyone with it can see the user's tabs' names and URLs).
  • If the user has no key yet, the user can click on the register button and a key is automatically generated for the user.
  • This extension is fully open-source. If you want, you can contribute by making a pull request!

Where to install it - It is available on Firefox and Chrome, right now.

Permisions asked - Storage - This permission is asked so that we can save the user key so that the user doesn't have to login each time it opens the extension. - Tabs - We use this permission to access the titles/names and URLs of the browser tabs. We don't access/save the content of the page itself—only it's title and URL.

Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy - By using this open-source extension you are agreeing to it's privacy policy (https://menino.eu/xSync/privacypolicy) and terms and conditions (https://menino.eu/xSync/termsandconditions).

Next steps - Making it available for Safari and Opera. - Also syncing bookmarks between different browsers.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

xSync requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

xSync may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
