Labs/Weave

Back to Labs.

Weave is a Mozilla Labs project to integrate web services into Firefox by allowing users to securely share their data with other users and 3rd parties. As such, the Weave encompasses a Firefox add-on, a server component, data sharing APIs, etc.

All software released as part of the Weave project is currently considered to be in the early prototype stage, so use it at your own risk.

You can read more about Weave in its "project page," as well as the Weave User Forum.
