Omnibear is a Micropub client browser extension for posting to your website. For general usage information and documentation, see https://omnibear.com.
This browser extension is in the process of being updated to newer web extension APIs. If you would like to be involved in updates, reach out to @aciccarello in a GitHub issue, via email, or in indieweb-dev chat.
Your contributions are welcome! See CONTRIBUTING.md for instructions on local development.
Omnibear is open source and any security issues are taken seriously, but it is important to be aware of the security implications of installing extensions directly. Unless you need to run a pre-release version of Omnibear, you should be installing from the official links on https://omnibear.com/
Important: Be careful when installing browser extensions you do not trust. The official web extension stores will take down malicious extensions but an extension installed via "developer mode" won't have any checks. Be sure you trust the developer who wrote the extension.
