Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • Back up your bookmarks folder If you’re using the default SQLite (the built-in database file), run the full-backup command in the container and copy the created zip file to your computer. Without that, deleting or moving the container can erase your bookmarks, favicons, and preview images; if you use another database, back it up separately. source
