Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus a few years ago, maintaining it ever since. I currently work for Nextcloud
which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
To continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way I ask that you donate to the project when opening an issue
(or at least once your issue is solved), if you're not a donor already.
You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

I would also like this feature as Kiwi Browser no longer receives updates. I can install the extension using the crx file, but I can't import profiles or create new ones because the Import and Google Login buttons don't work.

Well, not exactly, as I found a way to make floccus work on Edge Android. Is a bit tricky but doable, and the best part is that floccus could make it easier (I will explain later)

Anyway here are the steps:

install floccus
open this url: edge://extensions-internals/
search for floccus on the page. You should get something like this:

"id": "gjkddcofhiifldbllobcamllmanombji",
   "location": "INTERNAL",
   "manifest_version": 3,
   "name": "floccus bookmarks sync"

take note of the extension id
open any random page and bookmark it
edit the bookmark you just created and replace the url with this chrome-extension://EXTENSION-ID/dist/html/options.html#/
load the bookmark and now you can configure floccus

As I said earlier, the floccus devs could make it easier to do this by providing a button to open that url on a new tab, similar to how Dark Reader extension does when accesing the developer tools

Interesting! I tried it myself now and I found a button to open floccus from the normal Edge UI:

Screenshot

It's not ideal though because the page will close itself upon being prompted to sign into nextcloud or google drive. I'll try to improve this.

Yes, that was the way I tried to make it work at first and experienced the same problem trying to sign in, so that's why I came up with my method

However, while that made it possible for me to use it with Nextcloud, I noticed someone said earlier that the button to sign in to Google Drive didn't work, so I tested it using my method and indeed nothing happens when pressing that button, so even if your recent commit makes floccus work without my workaround, there seems to be a different issue regarding Google Drive

I see. That used to be an issue in Kiwi browser as well. IMO this is a bug in Edge. You may be able to circumvent it by importing the google drive profile instead of recreating it.

From the normal Edge UI the file manager wouldn't open when clicking Import profile, so I still had to use the workaround by @ZapperDJ for importing my Google Drive profile. After that everything works fine.

Yep, the upcoming version will have a link to open floccus in a new tab which should make the import button clickable.
