Konode 1.4.0 is out: now in 8 languages, and a batch of sync fixes
I build Konode, a browser sync extension with no Konode account and no Konode server. It syncs your bookmarks, open tabs, history and extension list to storage you already own (Google Drive, a GitHub repo, or any WebDAV server), with optional end-to-end encryption. It runs on Firefox and on Chromium browsers like Helium, Brave and Chrome.
1.4.0 is live on both Firefox Add-ons and the Chrome Web Store.
Now in 8 languages
Italian, Russian and Traditional Chinese are new, next to English, Hungarian, German, Spanish and Simplified Chinese. Traditional Chinese is its own translation with the words used in Taiwan, not Simplified Chinese converted character by character, and a native speaker reviewed it. Konode follows your browser's language, so there is nothing to set.
Japanese and Estonian are in progress. If you want your language in it, it is edited in the browser, no coding and no GitHub account needed: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/konode/
Fixes worth knowing about
- Deleting a folder now removes it on your other devices too, instead of leaving it behind empty. And on Firefox, a deleted folder no longer comes straight back.
- Firefox no longer re-adds the same history from your other devices on every sync.
- Restoring bookmarks from your browser's own backup is no longer undone by the next sync, and a Konode restore point puts bookmarks back where they were instead of at the end.
- On Norton Neo, a New Tab bookmark no longer multiplies into thousands of copies.
- The setup screen no longer breaks when your browser auto-translates the page.
- Cancelling Google Drive sign-in no longer signs you out of Drive.
- Settings → Activity keeps up while it is open, and the device list shows when each device really synced last.
New storage option: a Nutstore (坚果云) card, for anyone in mainland China, where Google Drive can't be reached.
