Please, can you add support for Windows?

[Dhyfer1]

Hi @8ta4

As the title says. I saw your post on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcBrowser/s/tQkgJYz1OW and I thought your repo might be useful for me, as Arc does not sync the extensions I use in Edge after a clean install, even when I have Arc Sync enabled, until I realized it only works on Mac. 😥

I have reinstalled Arc several times, but it never syncs extensions from Edge, only bookmarks and passwords. I have emailed the Arc team about my problem but still no response.

Please, I just want to see extension in Windows, and help me to synchronize the extensions I have in Edge, something Arc is not doing well.

@amir1387aht and @jia6214876

Why do you have the same answer?

Anyway, I downloaded the file and unzipped it, then Windows Defender tells me that two files inside the unzipped folder have viruses. Although I gave permission in the antivirus to both files, there is no installer inside the folder, the only executable, win64.exe, just open CMD without any command, it just opens and closes quickly.

to fix your trouble try download this fix, i see it in another issue

What issue are you talking about? This is the only issue in this repo

@Dhyfer1 this is a trojan, @jia6214876 is a hacked spam bot account.

You should remove the antivirus permission for those files, check your computer, and disconnect your internet connection during the process to avoid the trojan to steal your data.

@Dhyfer1 this is a troyan, @jia6214876 is a spam bot account.

Thanks for letting me know about the bot account. That's right, two Trojans appeared in the antivirus after unzipping the file that they told me about.

Do you know any solution for my case?

@ldez Thanks, but I'm talking about the topic for which I created this issue

[ldez]

I don't know the project related to this issue, I found this issue by looking for those bot accounts, I saw your message, and I just wanted to warn you.

[Dhyfer1]

@ldez i think you misunderstood me, I'm referring to the fact that Arc is not syncing the extensions I use in Edge. Do you know any solution?

[ldez]

I think you misunderstood me: I don't know what https://github.com/8ta4/extension does. I talk here just because I wanted to warn you about the spam bots. I will let the maintainer of this project answer your question because I have no idea about what is this project :smile: Sorry if it was not clear.

I think you misunderstood me: I don't know what https://github.com/8ta4/extension does.

It says it at the beginning of the readme: The extension command installs and configures browser extensions.

Thank you very much for warning me, and I have already followed your instructions.

It's ok, no problem. I hope the dev of this repo answers me soon

Hey @Dhyfer1,

I'll add Windows support as soon as Windows starts supporting my sanity! 😄

I'm currently focused on the Mac version. I'd suggest reaching out to communities on Reddit to find contributors who might be interested in helping. I recently made a post for a different app, and I was able to find people interested in collaborating.

If someone submits a working pull request for Windows support, I'll try to review and merge it.

Cheers!

Oh that means I'll have to keep waiting, damn it. 😮‍💨

Well, thanks for replying. I hope to see your project working on Windows one day as well. In the meantime, I will have to look for a solution elsewhere.
