Foxbrowser

The purpose of the project is to provide a full Firefox Sync powered replacement for Mobile Safari on the iPad. The backend code is forked from Firefox Home for iOS, on top of that I created an entirely new UI.

  • Safari style UI (Might change in future releases)
  • Support for Firefox Sync as in Firefox Home (Open tabs, Bookmarks & History)
  • Secure end to end encrypted transport of your Sync data
  • Up to 8 Tab's
  • Start screen with the most frequent visited History entry's
  • See open tabs from your other Firefox Sync enabled devices
  • Real-time search in your browsing history, bookmarks and tabs
  • Send Tweet's and mail's directly from the App
  • Best of all: It's free

Limitations

The Firefox Home codebase doesn't allow changes to the sync data yet, currently the browser works read-only. If you visit a site that's not already in the history, it's added locally.
