Huge improvements to encryption: now uses native Web Crypto API rather than external cryptography library, key derivation uses PBKDF2 with 250,000 rounds of SHA-256, encryption uses AES-GCM with a random 16 byte IV and the user's random 32 char sync ID as a salt. For comparison, LastPass' key derivation uses a similar approach but with only 100,100 rounds by default.
Existing syncs will be automatically upgraded to use the latest encryption. Upgraded syncs cannot sync to older version of xBrowserSync.
Data is now compressed before being encrypted reducing sync size by up to 60%.
When adding or modifying a bookmark using the xBrowserSync interface, local bookmarks are no longer removed and re-added - only the target bookmark is affected.
xBrowserSync now adds bookmarks by default directly to Other Bookmarks, the _xBrowserSync_ folder is no longer used and is renamed to Legacy xBrowserSync bookmarks on upgrade.
When creating a new sync, password must now be confirmed and required password complexity has been increased to ensure stronger encryption.
Updated to use smaller font files for faster more responsive experience.
Page metadata collection method improved, content scripts no longer run automatically when a page is loaded and page metadata no longer needs to be stored in browser's local storage cache.
Latest sync changes now pulled down on browser start up.
Ability to create new sync remove from mobile apps to prevent user deleting all local bookmarks inadvertently.
Sync confirmation text updated to clearly inform user that local bookmarks data will be deleted.
