Still seems to be working in Edge, but will most likely get the same problem as Chrome Shortly.
June is the expected enforcement date.
I suppose it would be nice to know if it will also impact FireFox as well. FireFox has being consistently the refuge for TiddlyWiki except some time ago when it was also part of the âTiddlyWiki Apocolypseâ which is in part what gave rise to Timimi
Noooo, donât go! Your one of the friendly helpful faces on here!
We can sort this out!

Chrome (Google) decided to create something that is called âmanifest v3â, which is much more restrictive than manifest v2. Manifest files define the capabilities, which browser extensions are able to use. V3 was mainly developed to disable add-blockers and other extensions, that could hurt Googles add business. (while they did phrase it differently)
Mozilla has its own implementation of manifest v3 and also supports manifest v2. There are several blog posts. Here is a link to a recent one from Mozilla.

I hope you get it sorted out! I have a lot of processes that are based on TiddlyWiki. I donât want to give up completely on TiddlyWiki.
But for now, until I see significant change, I am pivoting to Obsidian for productivity and important info, to custom apps (HTML editor tailored to my writing style, and a simple HTML that imitates a list-search) that ChatGPT created for me today for my Spanish materials, to Dynalist for free writing and brainstorming, and either Dynalist or Obsidian for notetaking based on reading.
I am just tired of it all. This was kind of like a last straw for me. It was good for me to go through this, and today was a liberating and energizing day for me. It also helped that I started reading Anne-Laureâs book Tiny Experiments today. She is great at getting me to think in creative ways.
Hi! Unlike my Dad, I donât have any browser restrictions, but I have had problems using timimi in firefox. Currently, I use Chrome solely to use my TWs and use firefox for everything else. When my TWs try to save in firefox, an error appears saying:
Timimi save FAILED
Error: No such native application
timimi
If thereâs a way to fix this issue on firefox, Iâd be quite happy switching over.

Iâve never encountered that issue myself, but Iâd probably start by making sure you have the appropriate .exe installed as per the Timimi site, and perhaps try reinstalling if everything appears correct. Good luck!

Just to be clear, you downloaded and successfully ran the executable that works with timimi?

Thanks!! I think I had forgotten to install the .exe back when I switched from Chrome to Firefox. Honestly, I forgot there was one 
I already tried it out and it works. Thanks again!!!

LOLâŚactually they didnât force me to switch to Chrome. A few years ago they strongly recommended it, and I dragged my feet until I had issues with TiddlyWiki on Firefox (I donât remember what it was), and I also saw Firefoxâs number of users dwindling. So I decided it was time to make the switch.
I will keep âUse TiddlyWiki on Firefoxâ as an option in addition to the others mentioned in this thread, to consider in the near future. But for right now I want to explore the options that have been arrayed before me today (Obsidian, simple HTML tools).
When youâre thinking about other options, donât forget to factor in how much it might cost you to synch your devices. Unless of course youâve got a really open budget 
Although Obsidian is superior to Joplin in many ways, the one important way it is not is in synching. With Joplin you can synch to your Google Drive or One Drive account for free. Unless things have changed, that is not true for Obsidian.
Also, if you donât want to go down another rabbit hole, avoid Obsidian. (âOh say, THAT looks interesting âŚâ) 
But I digress.
Obsidian costs $4 a month for cloud hosting and syncing between devices. I could probably justify it on my work budget. Or more likely have work start paying for my website hosting and I pay for Obsidian. Win/win.
And yes, there are many plugins, themes and CSS possibilities in Obsidian, so the rabbit hole definitely applies! But since I donât plan to use it for web publishing (thatâs another $4 a month), I wonât be as obsessive as I am about styles in TiddlyWiki where I want it to look âjust soâ in order to publish content.
Hello
I use tiddlywiki, 2 of them, for work. Timimi, with single local file is for me the best solution.
I dont want to load the business network every time I save my tiddlywikis.
4mb up and down in the network, loading and saving,is not a minimalist way.
All is monitored so timimi and local file is the solution.
I dont want use node.js too, even in local, timimi is simplest.
Chrome doesnât work with timimi now, Firefox remains for how much time?
Tiddlywiki in my opinion has 2 problems that can be solved once you know how to do it:
- saving single file
- images (for not increase the size when using single file)
Please dont loose timimiâŚ
thanks
I just tried Tiddlystow. Seems to work well. If you download it locally and just save a bookmark on the bookmarks bar, you can click it open. It shows a list of recently opened TWs. I think itâs great. But Iâve used it just for 2 minutes, so.
The main problem is that the relative path to external files is different. Not a problem if you donât use external files and I think thereâs a workaround using symlinks, but something to keep in mind.
Hello friends. Iâve been using GitHub - buggyj/savetiddlers, which still works with Chrome, but you have to re-enable it every time you start the browser. Hope this helps somehow!
For me the nativesaver plugin works well. Dave said he some sort of problem, but I wonder if that was just a conflict with the Timimi extension.
With the nativesaver plugin, you have a portable solution that works on (probably) any chrome-based browser (most of the alternate browsers are actually chromium-based). It doesnât require an extension or a separate executable.
You do need to check the " Allow FS to use indexedDB? (some security issues since everything on file:// has the same origin)" option if you donât want to be bugged for a save directory every time. If youâre a celebrity or an international spy, then maybe that would be a problem, IMO.

There is a good tip here to setup a webdav: Use WebDAV for saving a single file wiki - Tips & Tricks - Talk TW
I myself use GitHub - hacdias/webdav: A simple and standalone WebDAV server. on Windows (10, and 11) and an easy instruction can be found in TW-Scripts, see here
Scripts in Tiddlywiki â codes, macros, and solutions in TW
Saq recommended rclone and it seems rclone has a wider community for support.
