FoXRI - Firefox extension for XRI (I-name and I-number)

I’ve developed a Firefox extension that allows the use of XRI’s in the browser. You can install it over at my i-name landing page http://xri.dready.org/=wil

What you can do:

  • Type in =foo or @bar on the URL bar and have it redirect to the proxy resolution service.
  • You can also type in the full XRI i.e. xri://=foo
  • You can click on xri:// links, here’s an example: xri://@NeuStar (don’t click on it unless you have the extension installed!)

Note that you can’t link to the shorthand notation of =foo
because it is not an absolute XRI, and therefore will be resolved in the context of the linking page.

Disclaimer: This should be considered pre-pre-pre alpha software and it comes with absolutely no warranty. I do not accept any responsibility for any consequence directly or indirectly caused by the use of this extension. If your browser implodes don’t blame me.
