Kamelo is open source
Every line of the extension is now public on GitHub, under the AGPL-3.0 license. You don’t have to take our word for anything.
Picture installing Kamelo for the first time. Your browser shows a warning: this extension can read and change all your data on websites.
That’s a lot to ask. And you’re installing it precisely because you care about privacy.
The problem
Privacy software asks for trust. It has to see what you type in order to protect it. A promise on a website isn’t enough for that. You should be able to check.
What we did
We opened it up. The code is at github.com/OfficialKamelo/kamelo-open, with no build step and no minified code. You can read every line, run the tests and compare it with the version in the store.
You can also watch for yourself. Open your browser’s developer tools, look at the network and use Kamelo: it sends nothing of its own.
Until now Kamelo used a noncommercial license. Now it’s AGPL-3.0, real open source. Anyone who shares Kamelo, or offers it as a service, has to share their code too. The name and logo stay protected.
What it means for you
You don’t have to believe us. You, or someone you trust, can look. Found something? Report it privately on GitHub or at hello@kamelo.eu. We reply within 7 days. See Report a security issue.
Honest about limits
Open code isn’t perfect code. It means mistakes can be found, by anyone, including us. The next day we shipped a fix for one that our own review turned up: read the 1.3.3 security update.
Only the extension is open source. This website isn’t part of it.
Don’t take our word for it. Read the code.
