# chrome-browserid
chrome-browserid is a "native" BrowserID login/logout button for Chrome in the
form of Chrome extension.
"Native" means the functionality of login/logout is accessed via Chrome UI
(specifically an icon in address bar) in addition to usual login/logout links
provided by the websites.
It uses BrowserID ["Observer" API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/navigator.id).
## Features
If a website is using BrowserID authentication this extension displays an icon
in Chrome's address bar indicating authentication status.
When not logged in:
When logged in:
Clicking on the icon requests website's login or logout, depending on the
current state.
Logging in/out via website provided mechanisms is detected and reflected in the
status icon.
## Installation
So far the extension is not yet available on Chrome Web Store. Manual
installation is required.
### Get the code
Get the extension code by downloading a tarball:
$ wget https://github.com/sickill/chrome-browserid/archive/master.tar.gz
$ tar xf master.tar.gz
Or clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/sickill/chrome-browserid.git
### Load extension in Chrome
Go to Tools / Extensions. Enable "Developer mode". Click "Load unpacked
extension" and point Chrome to a directory with extension code.
## TODO
* Don't assume page is using BrowserID when navigator.id is present
* Display e-mail of logged in user
* Decide on naming (BrowserID vs Mozilla Persona) - ask Mozilla devs
