Users who use the add-on have probably noticed that the first choice where to store the bookmark is FavSync suggestion.
If you wonder how it works and how we know which category to suggest, this post is for you.
Unfortunately, I cannot share the secret recipe, but I can definitely say that it’s not as easy as just creating an internal library of links or just grabbing the metadata of a website and categorizing it, since the metadata usually contains a lot of useless keywords.
In fact, we are using a combination of different algorithms and one of them is the analysis of the metadata, but that’s just a small part of the whole logic.
The second part requires us to analyze the categories on your FavSync page and see which one fits the best. We do that by analyzing all the bookmarks in that category or by the title of the category.
We are constantly improving the accuracy of the suggestions, however sometimes you might get Unsorted as a suggestion. That means we didn’t manage to analyze this bookmark and it will store it in the Unsorted category (from where you can move it afterwards, of course).
You can also choose a category directly when adding a bookmark, if the suggestion is not to your liking.
