What's weird is that it comes and goes, i have another extension with the same afflicition (i have stopped with ESGST as extension and use the script and don't even see the difference), and sometimes it comes back when i thought it was gone forever. Not even after patches on Chrome.

Oh, no, actually I haven't. Thanks for the info. But I'm done with playing this game with that evil company. Maybe someday I'll try it when the script version is not working.
BTW, is the "Steam Library sync" & "Endless scrolling for Comments section" function of the manifest-v2 version working for you?

I don't actually use ESGST, so I do not know much about these features. I use some other manifest-v2 extensions :)
P.S.
Okay, I tried to manually sync library, got "Failed to sync your owned / wishlisted / ignored games"
The endless scrolling seems to work.

I have the same problem of library sync. And "endless scrolling" would always get stuck at "loading next page" in the comments section (Giveaways section is ok). And it also messes up the bookmarked items order and the permalink function. I just gave up using it.

EDIT: FIXED
Had a valid Steam API key in place, but decided to generate a new one for giggles. Surprisingly, this fixed the sync issue.
Sync issue with Owned/ignored/wishlisted games through the sync dialog. Fails every time. All other categories (e.g., groups, won games, etc.) sync without issue. Fails repeatedly. Tested in Chrome.
I think that this has been an issue for a while. I'm seeing a large number of games that I own that are not properly labeled via ESGST here in SG, which suggests that it hasn't been able to successfully complete that particular sync for some time.

Another user had issues with Owned/ignored/wishlisted here so i guess i should look into it. In theory if everything is set correctly it should use the data from the steam store and if you have fallback to api enabled then use that, but api has less data.

I can confirm I still have the issue happening. I tried a few different suggestions you and others gave as well as logging in and out of steam and steamgifts and its still not working.
Just tried the fallback to api and it still gave me the same error message. Using firefox btw.

The only thing i can think of is to wipe settings and try again, you can also test when you are logged into steam by going to https://store.steampowered.com/dynamicstore/userdata?/12345 that should show your data.

You can export everything for safety then just wipe only settings and reapply settings manually, that way if something goes wrong you can just import your backup and overwrite everything.

You are correct that it is something in the settings. When I wiped the settings it worked, when i restored them and tried again it did not.
I will wipe the settings again and just redo them manually - maybe I'll find the problem along the way. Thanks alot for all your help and I'll report back if I find the specific setting.

What i gathered is if something is wrong with the api key it will fail even when a person is not using the fallback which should not be the case. Workaround until there is a fix is to make sure the fallback is disabled and empty the api key setting before syncing this. Or make sure a valid api key is saved.

Enhanced SteamGifts & SteamTrades (ESGST)
An extension / userscript that adds some cool features to SteamGifts and SteamTrades.
If you find any bugs or have any feature requests, please file an issue here.
Compatibility
Tested and confirmed as working:
Not tested but should be working:
Not supported:
Installation
There are two different ways to use ESGST: extension or userscript. You can choose which one you want to use, but the extension is a lot faster and has a better peformance than the userscript, so I recommend it, although there is no major difference between them, except for a few options that are only available in the extension because of limitations in the userscript.
Option 1 - Extension
It should be possible to install the extension in any Chromium-based browser from the Chrome store (such as Opera, Vivaldi, etc...), any Firefox-based browser from the Firefox store (such as Waterfox, etc...), and any browser that uses the Phoebus system from the Pale Moon store (such as Basilik, etc...).
You can also use the extension on Android through Firefox for Android, but some features might not work or not be optimized enough for mobile.
Option 2 - Userscript
To install the userscript, you must install Violentmonkey, Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey or some other userscript manager first. Then click here and you should be prompted to install it. I recommend Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey, because the userscript uses the GM_addValueChangeListener API to communicate changes in the storage between tabs, and that API is not available on Greasemonkey, so a polyfill is used for Greasemonkey, which is not very effective and can affect the performance.
You can also use the userscript on Android through Firefox with Violentmonkey or USI, but some features might not work or not be optimized enough for mobile.
Beta Versions
The latest beta version for both the extension and the userscript is always available in the latest pre-release in the releases page.
