Title: WebPG
Post by: astor on May 23, 2013, 07:03 am
I saw a post about this in the Newbie forum. Has anyone heard of it or used it?

Web site:  http://webpg.org

Repo: https://github.com/kylehuff/webpg-firefox

Superficially, I have no objections to this. It appears to do all the crypto locally by interfacing with GPG or a similar PGP app installed on the user's computer. Apparently it scans web pages for PGP blocks and does everything in the browser, saving you some steps in working with an external application.

I don't know if it works in TBB, since TBB sandboxes $HOME to its root directory, but copying or symlinking gpg and .gnupg into TBB's root may be a workaround. I haven't tried it yet, but this is definitely on my to do list.
