      xBrowserSync is a free and open-source alternative to browser syncing tools offered by companies like Google, Firefox, Opera and others. The project was born out of a concern for the over-reliance on services provided by big tech, who collect as much personal data as they can and have demonstrated that they do not respect their user’s privacy. Now, with the proliferation of open-source code and projects it’s easier than ever to create tools and services that allow users to take back control of their data!

        that seems like a nice tool. If it works well it might be a better choice than firefox sync.

            @nebulon this has been on my list for a while, but it currently only supports syncing bookmarks. Which is nice! But I'm really looking for a sync of history and ideally current tabs as well. I was also hoping to replace Firefox Sync with something selfhosted, I'm just not sure it's there yet 😕 in the meantime I sync bookmarks through the Nextcloud Bookmarks plugin + Floccus browser extension, and have Firefox Sync running.
