Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/775

This extension, if the sync is ever interrupted for any reason, will create duplicates of all your bookmarks in a flattened structure of your original bookmarks you were syncing, which then synchronize, only to themselves be duplicated the next time sync is interrupted. It is absolute trash. I had to write a Python script to go through my bookmarks.html file and de-duplicate it. Do not use this extension!!

@daniu-de Thanks for your feedback! I'll try to investigate. By interrupting you mean closing the browser or clicking "cancel sync" in the ui? Or both?

I'm unaware of how I received my own duplicates. I just know last time I deleted a duplicate, it left zero copies in NextCloud.

I might have time to run tests somewhat soon if you have anything in mind.
