    I'm using it to synchronise my bookmarks collection Firefox and Chrome, in combination with Nextcloud Bookmarks. Works well.

    Excellent app when you have different web browsers and wanna sync your bookmarks on all of them

    Excellent customizable bookmark manager. Turn on auto-sync only in the main browser (in the others - manual). If you work in several browsers at the same time, then with auto-sync there may be artifacts...

    works 100% of the time, super easy to configure. respects privacy : you decide where your data are stored. Good job. Thanks for the Dev.

    This extension is really amazing! I'm using it with my custom WebDav server and all works perfect. Marcel, I want to write big thank you for what are you doing, keep going!

    Simple to use, just set it and forget it.
    Works without any issues, but you might need to give a little thought about the 'folder' settings, but it's just a little 5-minute experiment at max when you are new to it.

    Love this add-on and use it extensively!

    Minor issue: The current version deletes the name of a folder named "0" (just the digit "zero"), making it an unnamed folder.

    Thank you for providing this great add-on.

    Just a short test with Nextcloud.
    A lot of bookmarks were shown, but the most important were gone.
    Not really usefull in practice.

    It's not compatible with mobile browsers (Iceraven). I can't import from Google Drive

    Hello Kadircan,

    Firefox for Android will soon support floccus, until then you can use the Android or iOS apps to sync with an in-app bookmarks directory inside the app. Syncing with Google Drive should work again with the latest version.

    As 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.

    Hello 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
