Google Browser Sync is Open Sourced
posted by Midwinter
‘Jimdog’ brings us news over on our (at last count) 123 comment post over the state of Firefox 3 and Google Browser Sync’s lack of compatibility. GBS has been open sourced very quietly by Google which means that the server side code should also now be available!
There is a fair amount of work to do be done converting this to Firefox 3’s places system and then of course there’s the issue of a remote server to sync to. If anyone is interested in taking this and developing for FF3 then please let us know and maybe we can contribute in some way.
It seems like Google expected the ruckus over this issue generated by our and other, lesser, articles to die down on release of FF3. As our pretty traffic graphs show though the community was anything but prepared to stop sending them emails and clogging up their search listings.
So thanks for the heads up Jimdog, FF3 and browser sync are sure to be here soon.
