Had a thought, but some quick searching didn’t really give me much.

Is there such a thing as a browser that respects privacy, and can be synched through self hosted means?

I’d be looking for tab sync, bookmark, history, etc.

    I use the floccus extension with Nextcloud as a backend for bookmarks/tabs and wallabag for read-it-later

    Brave sync server is open source and self host able.

    Everything a browser syncs is syncable passwords, history, bookmarks, cards etc

    The “issue” is there is not a user interface element to easily add the self hosted instance url

    There are workarounds though

    You can read my quick how to here

    ive been using floccus for a few years now and no complaints

    i havnt tried syncing tabs but i think its an option. what i do have is a one-way sync job for the tabs in each browser so i at least have a backup of them, and each browser has its own file, but i would imagine if you tried to sync the same file between multiple devices it would just get very messy at some point

    The Arch Wiki used to have some elaborate tricks on Firefox profile syncing, and some software to support it, maybe you should check that out (but the actual software FF uses is or used to be FOSS as well).
