ruma jasonbrown1965, hace un añoAs an open source project, wanted to like Floccus so much, but serious issues affect data security and privacy.
Namely, some users express dismay that ambiguous sync setting have seen years of bookmarks disappear.
From a privacy perspective, there is also an issue raised where bookmarks are synced in unencrypted plain text.
https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1427
The author has explained they are too busy to address issues and as an open source project invited others to not just raise issues but also help fix them.
Fair enough, but for now this addon should not be used by those concerned about unintended data loss or privacy.

xtalüx rutzijol hace un añoHello Jason,
Your comment includes some untruths that I'd like to rectify.
I am not "too busy to address issues". I intend too look into all issues, which also what my auto-response says, but may not always do so in a timely manner, because I have a job.
You cite open issues that have been opened several months after the current version of this software has been released. This, to me, suggests that these involve some form user error. This is not why I haven't looked into them, I will, but it should give you pause about suggesting this addon to not be used by those concerned about unintended data loss or privacy.
I wish you all the best. Maybe you will try floccus after all :)
Cheers
Marcel

- Rated 2 out of 5ruma undefined, hace 25 díasI have around 3000 bookmarks. After restructuring them this extension uses 100% of one CPU core and looks like it hanged (nextcloud backend). Also I can't cancel sync.

- Rated 5 out of 5ruma Myroslav, hace 2 mesesI've been using Floccus for many years. Given its versatility across different system platforms and browsers, it's an ideal option for bookmark synchronization.
- Rated 5 out of 5ruma dyers, hace 2 mesesBest bookmark sync utility for professionals, no ads, no bullshit subscriptions, just use a github repo and sync between multiple different browsers even on different machines.
- Rated 5 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 16858997, hace 2 mesesGreat extension to sync bookmarks with different machines and have a full backup in your nextcloud (safe from all GAFAM and Mozilla Foundation that spies on your data now).
Thanks for the great work :) - Rated 5 out of 5ruma 0000002, hace 2 meses

- Rated 5 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 14086131, hace 2 mesesHi, I added Floccus to Vivaldi and that one is syncing with Google Drive, when I want to install this in Firefox and add a new profile, after I login to Google I get a "Something went wrong" message.... What is going wrong?
Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5ruma linuxgoblin, hace 2 meses

- Rated 2 out of 5ruma Cumbayah!, hace 3 mesesUse to work great, but recently WebDAV broke and when you try to configure Floccus on new browsers, you just get "Could not connect to your webdav server at the specified URL. The server responded with HTTP status 405 to a PROPFIND request with Basic Auth on the URL you entered." Existing profiles still work.

xtalüx rutzijol hace 3 mesesHello!
I'm sorry you are having issues. The error message you are seeing looks like you are using the wrong URL to connect to your webdav server. Nextcloud for example has a specific WebDAV URL that is different from the main nextcloud site. If you need help, I'm happy to help you troubleshoot over on github. - Rated 5 out of 5ruma dousha99, hace 3 meses
- Rated 5 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 12897648, hace 3 mesesI would like to retract everything I previously wrote. The issue was not caused by the 'Floccus' addon but by the Firefox browser itself.
The addon works properly and efficiently. I had to uninstall and reinstall Firefox from scratch to resolve the issue with logging into Google Drive. I admit I let my emotions get the better of me and was very frustrated, which is why my previous review was so negative.
I want to apologize for my mistake and am now trying to make amends. Hats off to the developer, Marcel Klehr, and my sincere apologies.
Additionally, I’d like to suggest one feature: Firefox allows separators in bookmarks, which Chrome does not support. Perhaps it would be worth considering options like “remove separators,” “ignore separators,” or “convert separators.”
For clarity, I’m leaving my original, negative review below so the context is fully understandable.
### old review below ↓
On Google Chrome, I installed this extension without any problems. I connected to Google Disc and the corresponding file appeared. Unfortunately, importing the profile into Firefox always fails. I deleted all profiles and wanted to reverse the situation. First I wanted to create a profile on Firefox. When logging into my Google account, an error always appeared.
Of course, other extensions or other logins from Firefox to Google account do not end in any error.
I really needed this type of bookmarks synchronizer but it doesn't work for me. I am very sorry, the extension does not meet my expectations. And please do not write in the comments that it is something wrong with me, or that I am too weak, too stupid to manage. It does not work and it should work without any problems. I expect problem-free operation from extensions. Then I make a donation.Tzolin rutzij b'anonel
