| 2024-11-19 |  | | en | 5 stars to balance everyone else out. at least their engineers provided a solution so we don't pay licensing fees which would lower the quality of the hardware we buy. most synology users would rather pay for Top Quality Hardware and Forever Software than have our purchase payments go to licenses for everyone who is a heavy photo user. I agree, they need to make this more streamlined such that the privacy of the extension is not needing to "see all websites all data" which is creepy. Just let us select which URLs it can access (photos). No need for unnecessary permissions, we trust you synology but why ask for stuff you don't need to know? |

| 2024-11-14 |  | | en | To the "engineer" who gave this 5-stars and is condecending to the users by lecturing about space vs quality trade-offs, I would like to remind them that "working" is also a "feature" and likely the most important feature there is. I have dozens of devices, owned by different people with different skills -- the devices I do not control. There will be other devices in the future. If something does not work with a browser "out of the box" (including a slightly not cutting-edge browser or OS -- some devices are several years old and poorly maintained), it just does not work. You may be living in a walled garden of your own creation, and it is fine to have certain assumption about it. But real world is not your walled garden, and you cannot make it any different by wishing so. The caveat to the above is that if you have a near-monolopy power (like Google with Chrome), you could bend the world to your wishes -- you can remove a feature and force enough pain on the captive audience that they adjust (vendors adjust). But if you are merely Synology, you just piss off users, lose good will (existing users will not upgrade to your newer products; positive media mentions and word-of-mouth decline so fewer new users), and damage your brand and business. You have real competitors (unlike Google Chrome). |

| 2024-11-12 |  | | en | Absurd downgrade to require browser extension AND a desktop app to perform basic functionality. What's the point of having a CPU on a NAS if it has to offload everything to a desktop? I might as well just build my own PC to replace the NAS. |
