Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1863

This is a website related issue.
(I.e., not an actual software issue.)
Sorry for marking it as a bug, there was no better fitting category on the form.

On https://floccus.org/download there are links to download locations for different platforms.
The Edge link leads to a not-found page:

(The URL is 'https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/gjkddcofhiifldbllobcamllmanombji'.)

I am a fan of Floccus (as you know 🙂), and I would love for it to get more exposure by Edge users.
I did a search on their store, and it's not to be found. Perhaps it needs to be re-published?

If republishing is not an option for some reason, perhaps just turn the Chrome box on the downloads page into a Chrome/Edge box? The extension can be installed into Edge from there just fine. (But non-tech users don't know, so they won't try unless it's indicated.)

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 looked around my Edge extensions config page (I do not remember where I got it initially).
It says that the extension was installed from the Edge (not Chrome store) and it cannot update.
So, perhaps/hopefully, this means it used to be up there, and this can be fixed easily.
