# keepassxc-browser
-Chrome extension for [KeePassXC](https://keepassxc.org/) with Native Messaging.
+Browser extension for [KeePassXC](https://keepassxc.org/) with Native Messaging.
This is a heavily forked version of [pfn](https://github.com/pfn)'s [chromeIPass](https://github.com/pfn/passifox).
Some changes merged also from [smorks'](https://github.com/smorks/keepasshttp-connector) KeePassHttp-Connector fork.
-For testing purposes, please use following unofficial KeePassXC [release's](https://github.com/varjolintu/keepassxc/releases).
+For testing purposes, please use only the following unofficial KeePassXC [release's](https://github.com/varjolintu/keepassxc/releases).
Get the extension for [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keepassxc-browser/) or [Chrome/Chromium](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/keepassxc-browser/iopaggbpplllidnfmcghoonnokmjoicf).
-The extension is supported with Firefox 55 and newer. If you want to load it as a temporary plugin with Firefox 54 you can just change the minimum version from the manifest file before loading it.

1. keepassxc-browser communicates directly with KeePassXC via stdin/stdout. This method launches KeePassXC every time you start the browser and closes when you exit.
This can cause unsaved changes not to be saved. If you use this method it's important to enable `Automatically save after every change` from KeePassXC's preferences.

and transfers these messages through Unix domain sockets / named pipes to KeePassXC. This means KeePassXC can be used and started normally without inteference from
Native Messaging API. keepassxc-browser starts only the proxy application and there's no risk of shutting down KeePassXC or losing any unsaved changes. keepassxc-proxy
