by Kelson, 3 years agoVery flexible, and can sync bookmarks across *many* different devices and browsers. You can use your own Nextcloud server, or store the bookmarks encrypted on Google Drive or another cloud service. Either way, you know who has access to them, which is a big bonus for privacy.
The desktop browser add-on is mostly set-and-forget and you just use your regular browser bookmarks. For as many browsers as you want. I've been using it to sync between Firefox and Chrome since 2020, and while it had some problems syncing early on, it's been solid for so long I can't even *remember* the last time I encountered a sync error.
The mobile app syncs your bookmarks to itself, since most mobile browsers don't let add-ons access their bookmarks. It took all of 30 seconds to set up the Android version with my Nextcloud, and the initial sync didn't take much longer. The UI is simple, letting you do the basics of adding, removing, editing and moving bookmarks. They open in your default browser, and you can share a link from your browser to Floccus to bookmark it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Michael, a month agoThis add-on works great! I have been looking for an extension like Xmarks for several years after it was shut down by LastPass and this does the job well. It takes a bit of time to set up, but--once it is running--it is amazing. I am able to easily sync between Firefox (and branches), Chrome, Edge, & Brave across two different profiles. Synchronizing with Opera (because of its different structure for bookmarks) ended up making a bit of a mess. Strangely, on Brave, it took what was on the bookmark in every other browser and put it into a folder with folders for other bookmarks all in the bookmark bar. While that one wasn't perfect, having all my bookmarks everywhere is great. Even the mobile app allows for two profiles, which keeps the phone in sync as well.
It would be even better if they would make an extension that would install into Firefox mobile. - Rated 1 out of 5by lolpery, a month agoIt worked fine at first, but then it just broke half of my bookmarks.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Daniel B.P., 3 months agoDoes a great job! Keeps my bookmarks synced between Edge, Firefox and Chrome on multiple computers. I just wish this worked on Firefox Mobile as well.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ronaldo Vieira Lobato, 3 months agoI was using xBrowserSync, since it stopped working on my Chromebook, I changed to Floccus. It syncs flawless on Firefox, Brave and Chrome using Google Drive.
- Rated 2 out of 5by undefined, 4 months agoI 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 5by Myroslav, 5 months agoI'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 5by dyers, 5 months agoBest 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 5by Firefox user 16858997, 5 months agoGreat 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 5by 0000002, 5 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14086131, 6 months agoHi, 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 5by linuxgoblin, 6 months ago
