Configures a Firefox profile for use with I2P Sites, I2P applications, and I2P configuration. Provides a bundled I2P Router and a pre-configured browser. Notably, it is completely compatible with any pre-installed router while also not requiring a pre-installed I2P router, which means that it can be used as a one-click introduction to I2P use for beginners while also being a convenient, automatic way to configure I2P Browsing for I2P users who have been around for years. It is a project to minimize I2P browsing misconfiguration and explore options to improve our response to various threat models, in a way similar to Tor Browser did but with the ability to fulfill I2P's specific needs.

If you're a beginner, who uses this and is interested in learning more about I2P, I advise you to install a fully-featured I2P router by following my detailed install guide here: https://github.com/eyedeekay/Install-Java-And-I2P-on-Windows.

Installation

This is very experimental software right now. Use it at your own risk.

It should 'just work' if you download the executable from the releases page and double-click it, but expect some rough still, especially on Windows. I would advise you to check the sha256sum against the sha256sum in the release description.

# Linux
wget -O i2pfirefox https://github.com/eyedeekay/i2pfirefox/releases/download/116.0.73.097/i2pfirefox
sha256sum i2pfirefox

# Windows
wget -O i2pfirefox.exe https://github.com/eyedeekay/i2pfirefox/releases/download/116.0.73.097/i2pfirefox.exe
does-windows-even-have-sha25sum i2pfirefox.exe

# OSX
wget -O i2pfirefox-darwin https://github.com/eyedeekay/i2pfirefox/releases/download/116.0.73.097/i2pfirefox-darwin
sha256sum i2pfirefox-darwin

You may need to mark the downloaded file as executable, like this:

chmod +x i2pfirefox*

Go developers with at least go 1.14 installed can build it from source with:

go get -u github.com/eyedeekay/i2pfirefox

What things does it do?

It manages a Firefox profile, and a whole Firefox browser on Linux. It falls back to Chrome if Firefox is not available.
It makes sure an I2P router is ready to work for I2P browsing, including launching an embedded I2P Zero router if an I2P router is not available to start.
It installs browser extensions in Firefox.
It embeds its own HTTP Proxy for browsing inside I2P
Easily integrate Go and Webassembly based web applications as well enhance Java I2P apps

It can eventually

Also browse Tor, use Tor as an outproxy
Embed web applications(Like webtorrent, webIRC), under human-readable domain-like aliases
Bring along TLS certificates for those domain-like aliases
Update itself via bittorrent
