ebd

ebd (from python version's name extract-browser-data.py) is a library meant for data manipulation of browser profiles written in Go

WARNING The library is very early in development

The library provides easy reading and writing of browser data, currently supported features are

Browser	State Detection (1)	Bookmarks	Cookies	History	Extension List (2)	Account Info (3)
Chromium-based	Done	TODO	TODO (4)	TODO	TODO	TODO
Firefox-based	Done	TODO	TODO	TODO	TODO	TODO

1. There are 3 states

   • Closed - the browser is not using it anymore
   • Running - the browser is using it currently
   • Unknown - the browser has crashed or the profile is corrupted

2. Returns list of extensions installed, with their info like

   • ID
   • Version
   • Author
   • Description
   • Link to extension page where it can be installed

3. Account information like email of the account (can be used to check if there is an account signed in)

4. Chromium encrypts the cookies, so this may be a pain

This library is base of cbsync

ebdutil

ebdutil is a CLI application that can do all the things the library can but with easy to use command-line interface that outputs JSON or YAML

Browser Support

The library will support Firefox and Chromium based browsers
