Floccus 5.5.2 has been released, enhancing its functionality to allow users to sync bookmarks across various browsers and devices with a focus on privacy. Unlike conventional bookmark managers, Floccus integrates seamlessly with your browser's existing features, allowing you to manage bookmarks using the native tools of your chosen browser. This ensures a user-friendly experience while Floccus handles the synchronization process.
To enable bookmark synchronization, users need a syncing server, which acts as an intermediary. Floccus supports several options for this purpose, with Google Drive being the most straightforward choice. For those concerned about privacy, Floccus allows for bookmark encryption. Other syncing alternatives include WebDAV, compatible with various cloud storage services.
For an optimal experience, users are encouraged to utilize Nextcloud Bookmarks, an Open Source cloud collaboration tool that can be self-hosted or used as a service. By installing the Bookmarks app on a Nextcloud installation, users can set up Floccus to sync bookmarks, enabling access from any device, even in remote locations, such as an internet café in Malawi.
Key Features of Floccus:
- Direct synchronization of native browser bookmarks.
- Syncing options include Nextcloud Bookmarks, Google Drive, various Git servers (like GitHub, Gitlab, Gitea), or any WebDAV-compatible services.
- Compatibility with any browser that supports web extensions, including Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, and Vivaldi.
- An Android app is available for mobile access to bookmarks.
- Multiple sync profiles can be created, with customizable sync strategies (uni- or bidirectional), intervals, and folders.
- Configuration export options and secure credential management with an encryption passphrase.
In conclusion, Floccus 5.5.2 empowers users to maintain their bookmarks efficiently and privately across devices, making it an excellent tool for anyone looking to manage their online resources effectively. With its versatile syncing options and commitment to user privacy, Floccus stands out as an essential utility for modern web browsing
