Auto-add icons on the synced bookmarks #9

Open Nickfrm opened 3 years ago

All bookmarks after first load the extension have an unassociated look. It would be great if the synced bookmarks have icons by default.

Hello, sorry for late answer. Now i'm migrate to new extensions API (MV3).

I still can't generate icons in the background for a large number of bookmarks at once. As soon as I figure out how to implement this, I will immediately do it. The problem is that the search and generation of one icon can take up to 30 seconds. When there are a lot of bookmarks, it becomes critical.

Ok, what about making this synchronization manual as a temporary workaround?

As an idea for brainstorm:

  1. Lazy-load (if you don't want to load network) of icons. I mean creating a cron job for loading.
  2. Create a cache layer between searching icons on the web. In that case, if you already have an icon for the website it won't search it on the web.

Cache already used in production. All icons created through server.

Probably it is worth doing this in the background and notifying the user that it will take time. The problem is even more that I can not determine the ideal icon, the algorithm needs to be upgrade. If this process run in the background, then it should take place without the participation of the user, which means I should be very good at choosing icons
