Iridium browser #114

Closed dimqua closed 7 years ago

dimqua commented 7 years ago

How Inox is compared to Iridium? I mean, can you tell me please which impovements from Iridium are missing in Inox (if there're any) and visa versa?

gcarq commented 7 years ago

I don't know exactly, without looking. But one of the major differences is that Iridium marks many internal calls with a trk: prefix (I'm not sure if they are prefixing every URL), that leads to fewer leaks, but potential side-effects. In Inox it could be possible that some URLs are leaking if you have a edge use-case (until patched ofc).

You can look in their git repo: https://git.iridiumbrowser.de/cgit.cgi/iridium-browser/ Here is also a diff of their repo from chromium-61.0.3163.100 up to iridium-2017.10, you can skip most *.grd resources as they mostly contain branding.

The Inox patches are described in the README.

@gcarq why do you mention Iridium in the README? I thought that you share some code with this project.

gcarq commented 7 years ago

@dimqua When I started this project, it contained almost all patches from Iridium, except the trk scheme and some other patch I can't remember right no. This was true in 2016. I don't know how much changed since then.
