Firefox Sync/Accounts Server
-
I would find this helpful.
Currently, I am using Syncthing to sync Librewolf portable between devices. However I still encounter regular conflicts - Nothing major, but just some annoyances I could do without. My biggest pain in this setup is the heavy limitation for cross platforming.
And so Firefox Sync would alleviate these pain points however minor or major they are. So would be welcome. -

Clients are available at https://www.xbrowsersync.org/

As of now, Manifest v2 will no longer work unless you hack your Chromium-based browser into managed mode, which is very tedious.
I can host my own syncstorage-rs instance but I still belive it would be a nice and handy tool in addition to Cloudrons app portfolio.
Does it really not matter to anyone to own and protect their and others critical data, such as passwords, browsing history, and sessions? How do you guys handle that besides using the build in Firefox sync function?
@subven Hello, I use vaultwarden for passwords and floccus + nextcloud-bookmarks to sync my bookmarks on different browsers (floccus has an extension for all of them).

@brerlapn @josephcosta Thanks for your suggestions - while I am aware of xbrowsersync / floccus, it does not quite fit what I am after and the gap that Firefox Sync Server would fill for me: Syncing browser parameters/extensions and session.
Hence my appreciation if ever Firefox Sync Server ever comes to Cloudron.
