Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Describe the bug
I've been trying to use Floccus for a long time, but it only barely works, as far as I can tell. If I move one bookmark, then do something else, Floccus has a chance to sync, then I go to another computer, after a few minutes the bookmark will be there, too. So it works as proof-of-concept.
However, whenever I go in and start organizing my bookmarks, Floccus just starts deleting bookmarks or moving them into other folders. It just happened to me again, and I don't have any other computers running right now that are syncing. So it's just me, Floccus, and my Nextcloud instance, and Floccus is not up to the task.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Move or delete bookmarks
Expected behavior
My bookmarks stay the way I just did them — in Nextcloud, and certainly in my own browser

mmh, do you have built-in sync enabled? Incorrect syncing without any errors should be rare to non-existent nowadays :S
I don't test on Vivaldi regularly, but running the test suite on the latest stable version just now didn't give any odd results.
@morgannunan commented on GitHub (Jun 25, 2021):
Thanks for the reply, and sorry if my original post was nonconstructive. Vivaldi is based on Chromium so I assumed it would work fine, but It has eaten and scrambled my bookmarks several times.
And no, I'm not running any other sync process.
@marcelklehr commented on GitHub (Jul 3, 2021):
Do you have any other extension enabled? If not, can your describe a set of steps that reliably breaks things / leads to a wrong outcome?
@morgannunan commented on GitHub (Jul 5, 2021):
Thanks for the reply, @marcelklehr. I run uBlock Origin, Unhook Youtube, HTTPS Everywhere, and AutoScroll.
The steps that lead to a bad outcome: I move a number of bookmarks, or rename a bookmarks folder. This is all it takes to make my bookmarks go haywire.

I will say that I switched to the xbel method, and so far everything has been syncing great. I just placed the xbel file in my nextcloud instance, which doubles as a webdav server. In this way, floccus 'works' with vivaldi and nextcloud — just not through the app. This is fine for me, because I was only using the app to sync my bookmarks. It won't work for people who want to view their bookmarks in the browser, but if your sync is working, I don't know why you would want to do that anyway.
@mnalis commented on GitHub (Sep 14, 2021):
related: It should also be possible to nicely view
.xbelfile in web browser - I remember using it ages ago just with using accompanied.xsltfile, on static web server. I've long since forgotten the details (it was back whensyncplacesfirefox extension was thing), but http://xbel.sourceforge.net/ should know more if someone is inclined to view them that way.@marcelklehr commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2021):
This is likely because the bookmarks app doesn't have a locking mechanism :/ I have tried using the nextcloud filesystem for a locking mechanism before but this didn't work out. I'll have to revisit this.
@mnalis commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2021):
Perhaps you can add fake bookmark with specific name/URL which would act as a lock ?
@marcelklehr commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2021):
Mhyeah, that would be the simple way, but it would leak create/delete messages into the app's activity stream :/
@marcelklehr commented on GitHub (Sep 23, 2021):
On the other hand @morgannunan said, he was only ever using one floccus instance. So, I'm not sure locking addresses your issues @morgannunan. Can you maybe specify what you mean by haywire? Bookmarks randomly moved? Bookmarks deleted? Changes reverted? Bookmarks renamed to the wrong title?
