- This is an webextension which introduces a set of new “Private Browsing” modes - to Firefox-based browsers(Supporting webextensions, must be current ESR or - greater) that makes it easier to configure a browser to use I2P securely and - adds features for making I2P applications easier to use. It does this by - isolating I2P-specific settings to Contextual Identities within Firefox, then - loading them automatically when the user requests them. It also adds convenience - and management features, like an embedded I2P console and Bittorrent integration - with clients using the transmission-rpc API and via in-browser protocol handling - integrations. -

-- This browser extension cannot influence telemetry carried out by browser vendors - to determine performance in their distribution channels, nor can it mitigate any - other browser vendor telemetry. -
-- This browser extension is entirely Free, Open-Source software. -
-- Installation(Cross-Platform): -
-- For desktop users this addon is available from addons.mozilla.org, where you - will be able to recive automatic updates: - - I2P in Private Browsing - - . -
-- Setting the Homepage -
-- The first time you run the extension, Firefox will offer you the option of setting - your homepage and new tab page to the homepage contained - - within - - the extension. You - can decline this or edit it later and it will not affect your anonymity.

- Usage: -
--
-
- - Basically, it “Just Works.” After you install the plugin, browsing to an I2P - domain will automatically stop the current tab and re-open the I2P site in an - I2P Browser tab. - -
- - Besides that, four bookmarks are added to the “Bookmarks Toolbar,” which - will take you to visit your Java I2P applications, or the “Simplified I2P - Landing Page” embedded in the plugin: - -
-
-
-
- - - Also, there’s a menu for accessing I2P functionality while you’re browsing. - It lets you control a few settings in a granular way. - -
-
-
-
- - - You can re-enable WebRTC but force it to always use the proxy that is - enforced by the tab. - -
- - You can either force the browser to delete all history for I2P sites - immediately, or you can close all your I2P Browser tabs at once and delete - the history for I2P browsing when you’re done. - -
- - That’s all there is to it! Your browser is configured to safely use and - administer I2P. - -
- - Optionally, you can add I2PSnark-RPC and use Bittorrent-over-I2P via the - transmission-rpc interface. To do this, have a look at the torrent guide: - - Torrent guide - - -
- Features -
--
-
- - [done] - - Provide - - a way to launch into an I2P-Specific contextual identity - (container). Intercept requests to .i2p domains and automatically route them - to the I2P container. Isolate the router console from other local - applications by automatically intercepting requests to the router console to - another container. - -
-
-
-
- - - [done] - - Indicate - - the I2P browser is in use visually. Find an - acceptable way to indicate it on Android. - -
-
-
-
- - - [done] - - Set - - the http proxy to use the local I2P proxy automatically. - Provide specific configuration for other types of I2P proxies(SOCKS, - isolating HTTP) - -
- - [done] - - Disable - - risky webRTC features/offer the option to re-enable - them with the proxy enforced. - -
- - [done] - - Change - - the color of the browser window to indicate that I2P is in - use - -
-
-
-
- - - [ready] - - Provide - - help in a variety of languages. - -
- - [done] - - Monitor - - the health and readiness of the I2P router it is - instructed to use. Currently the plugin checks whether the HTTP Proxy is - working by fetching an image from “ - - http://proxy.i2p” - - and displaying a result. - A work-in-progress binding to i2pcontrol is available in ./i2pcontrol, it is - inert at this time. - -
-
-
-
- - - [Done] - - Handle - - router console applications under their own origins and - within their own contextual identity. (1) The router console is automatically - confined to it’s own container tab. (2) Use a custom protocol handler to - place each i2p application/plugin under it’s own origin, shortening router - console URL’s and placing applications under their own origin. - -
-
-
-
- - - [Done] - - Handle Torrents - - by talking to i2psnark-rpc plugin and then - adding them directly into the Firefox downloads drop-downs, menus, etc. Enable - the use of I2PSnark as a peer-to-peer delivery mechanism for media files. - -
-
-
-
- -
-
-
- - - [Done] - - Enhance - - the I2P browsing experience by allowing site developers - distribute some or all of their resources as torrents, allowing the torrents to - be treated effectively as a CDN. - -
-
-
-
- - - [Done] - - Indicate - - the level of authenticity provided by TLS. TLS is - optional on I2P for now, but some sites offer it anyway. TLS support is - experimental and in the works. - -
-
-
-
- - - [Done] - - Provide - - alternate, in-I2P destinations for web sites that want to - mirror their content within I2P. - -
-
- [barely started]
-
- Isolate
-
- traffic by contextual identity to it’s own HTTP
- Proxy tunnel, each reflecting it’s own pseudonymous identity within I2P. The
- contextual identities. For now, the contextual identities used to manage
- browsing are “I2P Browsing” and “Web Browsing” where I2P Browsing is capable
- of using an outproxy but in the case of traffic destined for the clearnet
- does not do header rewriting, and Web Browsing falls back to the Proxy
- configured in Firefox. The I2P Browsing will be expanded to
-
-
-
- - I2P Amnesiac Browsing: Use for General Browsing, stores no history and - uses an HTTP Proxy with a very short tunnel-close timeout and no key-reuse. - -
- - I2P Social Networking: Use this for logging into social network accounts, - forums, and other interactive asynchronous public communication platforms - where your identity is behaviorally linkable. This has a very long - tunnel-close timeout and key-reuse until specifically invoked. - -
- - I2P Blogging: Use this for posting content to the web interface of your - blog or to other similar websites that you create content on. - -
