Ardia is an open-source Chromium-based browser for macOS. The iCloud Passwords extension doesn't work in Ardia today, because Apple's native messaging helper only launches for browsers on this list. Ardia tracks this in ardia-browser/ardia#18.

This PR appends one Ardia entry to web_browsers, at the end of the array like the recent additions:

  • Bundle and code signing identifier: com.ardia.browser
  • Team ID: U5L5T3NGVV (mantra patel)
  • Extensions path: Application Support/com.ardia.browser/Chromium/Default/Extensions
  • Extension storefront: Chrome Web Store (1). Ardia's README says the Chrome Web Store works in Ardia, with an "Add to Ardia" button.

I downloaded Ardia 0.2.45 from the README's download link and checked the app inside the DMG:

$ codesign -d -vvvv /Volumes/Ardia/Ardia.app
Identifier=com.ardia.browser
Authority=Developer ID Application: mantra patel (U5L5T3NGVV)
Authority=Developer ID Certification Authority
Authority=Apple Root CA
Notarization Ticket=stapled
TeamIdentifier=U5L5T3NGVV
$ spctl -a -vv /Volumes/Ardia/Ardia.app
source=Notarized Developer ID
origin=Developer ID Application: mantra patel (U5L5T3NGVV)

Its Info.plist registers the http and https URL schemes.

Ardia's release docs put Chrome's user data dir at ~/Library/Application Support/com.ardia.browser/Chromium, with profiles Default and Profile <id>. On my Mac, after Ardia's first run, the extensions folder is ~/Library/Application Support/com.ardia.browser/Chromium/Default/Extensions.

I'm not Ardia's maintainer. @mantrakp04, could you confirm this entry here?

JSON schema validation (ajv --spec=draft2020) and git diff --check pass.

Overall Checklist

for web-browser-extension-distribution-information.json

  • Information about the web browser has been included below, including a link to its official website and a link to download it
  • The platform-specific information (e.g. bundle identifier, code signing identifier, and code signing team identifier) was verified from a copy of the browser downloaded from that link (e.g. by including the output of codesign -d -vvvv /path/to/Browser.app)
  • The browser supports installing extensions from each of the listed storefronts
