Browser extension v3.2 is out with improved form handling and a customisable form button, as well as other minor bug fixes.

Pending release reviews 🐌

We’re looking for help maintaining our Google Drive integration, primarily on desktop. As Google continues to change requirements and guidance on using their APIs, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that we can’t keep up. At least not with maintaining their integration and pushing Buttercup forward at the same time.

If you’re comfortable developing with React/Electron/NodeJS and would be interested in helping out a FOSS product such as ours, please reach out. We’d be very grateful.

We’re aware of a number of small issues regarding our website downloads of the desktop application (you can download it from GitHub’s releases area) as well as our Google drive connection not showing everything it used to.

We’ll be making changes in the coming days to address these problems. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

There’s been a number of you that have been less than satisfied with our V3 browser release, namely because of our requirement for the Buttercup desktop application to be installed and running.

While we hate the idea that we’ve displaced any of our users, we stand behind the decision to utilise the desktop application for streamlined use of our browser addon. Besides the push from Chrome and Edge to require us doing this, it was beneficial to our software for a number of reasons:

* Less to maintain overall
* Less logins required to use our software
* Addon state persistence across updates of the extension

We understand that for some of you, using the browser extension, and only the extension, was your workflow in Buttercup. We can assure you that using the desktop application as the hub for your vaults will increase the ease of access you have to your credentials and secrets. There’s no way however to use the extension without the desktop app, and that most likely won’t be changing in the future.

Please consider reading the discussion on this matter here: https://github.com/buttercup/buttercup-browser-extension/discussions/451

V3 of our #browseraddon is now live for #firefox users! If you're using #buttercup in Firefox you'll soon see it update. Make sure to connect it to your desktop app once it does.

Note that over the coming weeks there'll be incremental improvements to the extension, as well as new features, such as OTP QR code decoding, a new context menu and translations support.

We've archived our Open Collective page today. We will not be accepting donations from this point onwards.

We are continually building out our platform and trying out best to add the features we see fit to our software. This doesn't indicate a down turn in our efforts, but rather a slight pivot in terms of financial oversight. More on that soon.

For now, we'd like to thank, dearly, all of our contributors up until this point. You've done wonders by allowing us to experiment and run our platform in various designs without limitation.

Financially speaking Buttercup will be better off in this new arrangement as it'll have a more stable stream of income with which to build infrastructure and potentially hire help. We're looking to the self-hosted/hosted option for our product next, along with passkey support and many other items.
