Users can also share via web sites, without leaving the browser or launching a native app. In Fennec 2.0a1 we have hard-coded support for three sites (Facebook, Twitter, and Google), and we allow Fennec add-ons to extend this list. | |||
'''Proposal:''' We should add a way for web sites to extend the sharing list without writing Fennec add-ons. This could work similar to OpenSearch discovery. The site's header would include a link to an XML file (schema TBD) that tells the browser how to share links via that site: | |||
<link rel="share" href="sharing-settings.xml"> | |||
Unlike a Fennec add-on, this would be easy for sites to deploy, and could be supported by any browser. | |||
