Why request boss.cnwangjie.com frequency?

It's the host of the sync feature. It is under test before and deprecated due to some reason. You can ignore it. If it wastes too much traffic in billed internet connection you can add 127.0.0.1 boss.cnwangjie.com in your hosts file.

Why it's not there in Firefox Addons? / How to install on Firefox?

It was developed in the Chromium environment. Did not do some adaptation and optimization for Firefox. This may cause some problems But I don't have enough time to solve them.

But it's also could be run on Firefox. You can install it on Firefox by referencing this issue. #390

Where are data stored in? Can I access my data directly?

Simply: All on the disk but you can not access them directly outside the browser.

In detail: We use Browset Extension Storage API to store data (It seems not a good idea for now). It has different implementations on different browsers, but it won't be stored as plain text in normal.

I lose some/all of my data, can I recover them?

Due to design problems at the beginning of development. It maybe lose data in some cases. Unfortunately it can't be recovered. Please try not to store too much data (thousands of links) and do a large number of operations in a short period of time. If you enounter this problem, you can report it on #121 .

Why hasn't it been updated for a long time? Will it be updated later?

It will be not in a long time because there are no other maintainers and I don't have much time. There are now too many issues in the backlog and a lot of refactoring is required. I hope to bring a new version since there are still tens of thousands of users.
