Please fix the crappy bookmark system on android.

It's such an obvious, basic thing that it baffles me browsers are still fucking struggling with this.
I wish the extensions were more than just basic Javascript and we could get ACTUAL modifications to the user experience

I have thousands of bookmarks, I want to delete about half of them. I cannot search and then multi select. Only select all or search and then slowly delete.

You can always use ctrl+F to search, but I think there is no such thing for multi select as of now
Squizzy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
On mobile, if you search in bookmarks you cant multiselect.

Bookmarks in general could be so much better. It could be like a notes app in the browser, like a third brain, and it could auto-share with Obsidian and other notes apps. Instead we just have folders of links.

Firefox bookmarks have tags, which is way more than most browsers.
dantheclamman@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Yeah, not a critique of Firefox, just that bookmarks could use a breath of fresh air as a concept.
kratoz29@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y
TIL.
Is this tab "transferable" or only works with FF based browsers?
bloopernova@programming.dev · 3 pts · 2y
The tags only work with Firefox browsers, but they're stored in a SQLite database. So there's potentially a method for extracting them or syncing them. I'd like to figure that out so I can sync tags between my Emacs org-roam database and Firefox.
8BitFriendly@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y
Indeed, but tags are not available in Firefox for Android, if I'm not mistaken.

So very agree with this, I hoard bookmarks, I kinda don't see the point when I just end up looking my shit on Evernote (bear with me, I have yet to move somewhere else).

I'm still looking for my Evernote replacement, personally, even though I stopped using them a while back.
Ive been using Obsidian for months but sadly...it is not the replacement.
dantheclamman@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
I like Joplin. It's not a full replacement for Evernote, most notably lacking handwriting (though there is a plug-in for windows and one on the way for android beta), but it is pretty nice when syncing with syncthing!
kratoz29@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
I have considered both Joplin and Obsidian as Evernote replacements, but what I liked the most about Evernote was its sync feature, I know Syncthing is a thing, but would I be able to have my syncing working fine between Android, iOS and macOS?
I tend to change my custom ROM often as well, and if I had to redo my Android setup (with Evernote I just re logged in) it wont be very good as well, I use Swift backup though.

I am syncing between two laptops, a phone, a tablet and nvidia shield (not for Joplin on the shield lol, just files). The only issue with Syncthing is that it sometimes gets battery optimized by Samsung despite everything I have tried to get it to stay foregrounded. But as soon as I open Syncthing it syncs instantly since markdown files are so small. Then Joplin can pull from the local files. I have it set to be encrypted so it takes a little longer to import than it would otherwise. For Joplin, now that it has automatic system dark mode it is almost perfect. The only thing I'd prefer was a better tablet UI with a paned view. Other than that I am content! They also have OCR in the betas, which gets it a little closer to being an Evernote premium replacement. It is impressive what they've added despite being a nonprofit open-source project made by volunteers

@kratoz29 @firefox Use third-party file synchronization solutions rarely when they work properly. But using WebDAV for synchronization works perfectly. And in many programs. What’s in Joplin, what’s in Obsidian.
ripcord@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Awesome. That's not one I've seen yet. I'll check it out!

A download manager would be nice...
mp3@lemmy.ca · 14 pts · 2y
Honestly there are great download managers out there like Aria2App, and Firefox can use them just fine if you enable the option.

I'm not seeing the tab strip setting in the secret settings. Which version code are y'all on? I'm on 2016006503.
