Provider for Google Calendar

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Contrary to Anon.426068's assertion, this plugin works perfectly with the current release version of Thunderbird. It's only the latest BETA version that it isn't yet compatible with. Only beta users will be impacted, which is what happens when you're on beta.

Aside from that, it mostly does an excellent job of syncing multiple Google calendars without many problems. Google doesn't support canceled events, and this plugin doesn't have any kind of "fake" support, so canceled events just disappear. The only other problem is that it seems to stop syncing after the PC goes to sleep.

But aside from those minor things, I literally could not live without this plugin in my day-to-day work anymore, now that I need a mobile sync. It's the most important plugin I have.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.3).

As long as it at least worked, I didn't mind the (disabled) adware included too much, but now it doesn't even work at all. There are lots of other choices that are still updated.

Note: When a plugin is signed, that means it's signed by mozilla.org, not by the original developer.

Had this for years, still as great as ever.

The good: It can download all DASH formats! Very useful. A convenient button is provided.

The bad: It requires ffmpeg to even recognize audio at all, instead of showing raw streams. Once you configure ffmpeg, you have to restart the browser, but it doesn't tell you that. Once you configure ffmpeg, there's no way to download bare DASH video streams, you have to let it mux in audio. It forces either H264/AAC or WEBM/Vorbis on you, but the best WEBM/AAC is always the absolute top quality available. The button is impossible to move, it's permanently welded to the left of the address bar, instead of being able to move it to the main menu or elsewhere, and it's always there on non-YouTube sites. No right click options.

Enough problems that despite the fact that it works, unlike many plugins, I'll probably uninstall it and look for an alternative.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.5.1.1-signed).
