Hey @AbraamNader!
I'm sorry for your troubles.
I cannot replicate this with Edge 93.0.957.0 on Linux. Please try again and report back :)

Hey,

I can confirm this behavior in Edge Version 92.0.902.73 (64bit) on Win10 21H1 with Floccus version 4.7.0.
After pressing the "Login with Google" Button during the initial account configuration process the whole Edge instance crashes. After restarting the browser the addon presents the debug log as follows:

This appears to be a bug in Edge and will likely be fixed with the release of v93

Hello! Is it possible to fix this on the user side without updating Edge or installing another browser?

@NuraliMedeu You can use other storage method than Google drive (WebDAV or Nextcloud bookmarks), I guess. It would require opening additional account on some server which offers those services, though.

Thanks, @mnalis! I am currently trying to sync my bookmarks through Yandex Disk WebDAV.

Edit September 10, 2021: It works for me, but using a WebDAV service might be inconvenient for those who want to primarily use Google Drive.

I met same issue on Microsoft Edge.

OS: [Win10 Pro, 21H1, x64]
Browser [Microsoft Edge]
Browser Version [94.0.992.31, x64]
Floccus version: [4.7.0. Direct installed from MicrosoftEdge store.]
Floccus sync method: [Googld Drive]

Situation:
Creat a new account. Choosed Google Drive for sync method.
Click on "Floccus icon"
Click on "Options"
Click on "Login with Google"
Screen freezed and then crashed.

I have another computer (also Win10 Pro, 21H1, x64), and Floccus works well on Edge and Chrome. Floccus still works well on that computer.

This is a new computer and just had clean installation. Floccus works well on Chrome but crash on Edge.
Seems it lost something on the new computer?

This appears to be a bug in Edge and will likely be fixed with the release of v93

In the meantime I am already updated on Edge Version v94 and Floccus v4.8.2. The issue still persists. Any hope that this error will be fixed soon?
Please let me know, if you need more information.

I'm not an Microsoft windows user, but I seem to recall that there was (at least once upon a time) a thing called Event Viewer inside MS-Windows, which often did contain at least some information about application and services crashes.

I'm not sure content of those logs would help anybody but Microsoft engineer with access to Edge source code; but they might contain some hint. So, could someone who has this problem share what is written in that logs when Edge crashes?

Maybe there might be a difference in security policies or something, as it seems Edge with Google does work for some people.

The thing is that this is most likely a bug in Edge, but I've struggled to find the appropriate place to report bugs to their team. I just sent them a message to their Extension support now in the hopes they will forward to the right place. 🤞

Perhaps it might it be useful if someone has access both to Edge instance that crashes, and to Edge instance that does not crash, and can see what are differences between them (version, settings, etc).

Microsoft support says:

I’m checking in on the issue you reported and we will need additional information to continue working on the matter. I would appreciate it if you could do the following:

Using Microsoft Edge (In-private browsing mode), please send us a recording of the dashboard, showing the options that you have tried so far with your floccus bookmarks sync Extension on the Edge browser and how it crashes, you will be able to use the PSR (Problems Steps Recorder) following the next steps: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/22878/windows-10-record-steps

So, if you happen to be affected by this bug, please record the steps above and upload the resulting file over here, so I can relay it to Microsoft.

Update: Note that I cannot do this myself, because I cannot reproduce this and am not on Windows.

I'm also experiencing this issue running Windows 10, Microsoft Edge (95.0.1020.30 Official build), and Floccus 4.8.2.

I'll keep an eye on Edge v96 to hit the stable builds and report back confirming if the issue is resolved or not.

I was preparing the requested file with the step recorder. However the link returns a 404. Any other way to forward it to you instead of publicly uploading it here? 😇
Uploaded! The link was broken though.
