Transcription
History
Blisk was first released as Windows only in 2016, with Mac support coming one month after release.[5][6] The initial beta release of Blisk for Linux was announced on April 10, 2021,[7] public Linux release and support of Linux-based OS (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE) was announced by the Blisk team on May 7, 2021.[8]
Features
Blisk comes configured with simulations of a set of phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, allowing developers to test how their code renders across multiple devices and browsers.[9] The simulation set can be used to compare how the design responds to different screen resolutions and pixel ratios,[10] thereby enabling the testing of page behavior without a developer having physical access to the devices. Simulated devices are shown in a secondary screen next to the main screen; the screens scroll in sync with each other.[9] The devices emulated by Blisk support original their original screen resolution and orientation, pixel ratio, user agent, and touch events.[6] As of May 2019, Blisk supports over 50 devices.[11]
Data breach
According to the Estonian company behind Blisk, the browser was used in web and app development by tens of thousands of corporate clients. In December 2019, a data breach occurred when an Elasticsearch server was left exposed. It contained personal information of thousands of web developers from the companies that used it, totaling 2.9 million records or 3.4 GB of data, including email addresses and user-agent strings. The leak was patched by the Blisk team a day after learning of it, but concerns were raised about the potential operational value of the data to malicious actors with respect to targeting the companies using tailored exploits.[12] The data stored by the browser was left unencrypted before the attack.[13][14]
