Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/328

Software versions

Browser: Firefox 60.8.0 ESR, Vivaldi 2.6.1566.44
Nextcloud: 16.0.3
Nextcloud Bookmarks app: -
Floccus: 3.3.2
Floccus sync method: WebDAV

Steps to reproduce

Create a bookmark
Sync it to another browser
Compare the URLs between the source browser and the destination browser

Expected outcome

Both URL strings are identical

Actual outcome

The URLs are different:

GET-parameters have a different order (which is quite annoying, since I use these URLs as templates, and some sites even break because of the reordering), e. g.
original (Firefox): https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&tbs=isz:l&num=100&hl=en&gl=au&q=Floccus
after sync (to Vivaldi): https://www.google.com/search?gl=au&hl=en&num=100&q=Floccus&tbm=isch&tbs=isz%3Al
Some URLs are no longer usable, because of broken characters:
original (Firefox): https://google.com/maps/@0,0.0,0m/?force=canvas
after sync (to Vivaldi): https://google.com/maps/%400%2C0.0%2C0m/?force=canvas

(also happens with German umlauts in URLs on sites like https://geizhals.eu)

It makes no difference which browsers are getting synced or in which direction the syncing happens. E. g. two Firefox instances experience the same issues.
It also doesn't help to switch from WebDAV to the Nextcloud Bookmarks app.

Thank you for the feedback. URL normalization has been an issue for a while, since I chose to go with a handwritten normalizer. I've now decided to switch to plain WHATWG URL validation and normalization, which should prevent such issues in the future.

I know, I know. I don't get as much done as I would like to, these days :)
