Shariff is a JavaScript library that provides privacy-friendly social media share buttons for websites. It prevents social networks from tracking visitors via embedded buttons, only connecting to the network when the user actively clicks to share, with an optional backend for share counts.
Use cases
- add privacy-compliant share buttons to a website
- replace Facebook/Twitter share buttons that leak visitor data
- show share counts without connecting visitors' browsers to social networks
- make a site GDPR-friendly regarding social media plugins
- customize the look of social share buttons with CSS and data attributes
When to choose
- you run a website and want share buttons without third-party tracking
- you need GDPR/privacy-compliant social sharing for a European audience
- you want share count display via your own backend
When to avoid
- you need modern framework components (React/Vue) rather than a jQuery-based widget
- you want embedded social widgets like timelines or like-boxes, not just share buttons
- you need actively developed features; the project is in low-maintenance mode
