floccus bookmark sync (version 5000002): Sync your bookmarks privately across browsers and devices
-
Can Chrome Sync or Firefox Sync be trusted with sensitive data?
There are solutions external to the browsers that work pretty well and where you have control on your data :
Floccus for bookmarks (https://floccus.org/) : it works also on mobile devices : a great plus ! You need only a webdav server (or a Nextcloud account), I use Dave (https://github.com/micromata/dave)
Vaultwarden for the passwords (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden)
A huge advantage of this solution is that you can have synchronization also between different browsers and on mobile devices.

xBrowserSync and Floccus.

Looking for a selfhosted tool to store/sync/backup URLs using a Firefox extension
maybe this: floccus

Looking for recommendations (Bookmarks/Links)
I've got floccus running between browsers for the bookmarks I use more often, and benotes for the ones I want to keep for reference or for later.
-
Looking for a self hosted bookmarks manager?
There is an app called floccus that allows you to sync your bookmarks and folders from any browser or mobile device. You can sync those bookmarks using gdrive, WebDAV, or Nextcloud-Bookmarks. I would recommend trying it out and if you like it, you can self-host a WebDAV service or Nextcloud.
-
Looking for a solution to synchronise bookmarks across PCs and mobile. I know there have been numerous threads but none of them for mobile.
I use floccus to sync some bookmark folders between browsers.I user Chrome at work, and Firefox at home. But sync both via floccus by syncing just a 'personal' folder for home and a 'work' folder for work. It syncs with Nextcloud and webdav or google drive. I sync via Nextcloud as that is already in use for me.

Did Mozilla Ever Open Source Pocket?
I also found https://floccus.org/ and https://archivebox.io/ on Alternativeto, for self-hosters.

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe
Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]
Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.
Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]
Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:
The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk
ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community
A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere
The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

Youtube seems to be doing some A/B testing with the comment system which has made proxies like Invidious and yt-dlp/Newpipe unable to load comments. There is a patch for Invidious [1] which solves this problem but it is not in master yet. I tested it on my own instance and it does solve the problem.

Google fights Invidious (a privacy YouTube Front end)
BTW, I don't understand the workaround: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4552/files
Which was taken from here: https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js/pull/624
Could anybody explain it to me?

Google Ordered to Identify Who Watched Certain YouTube Videos

YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again
Use a Youtube proxy like Invidious [1], problem solved and you get to subscribe to channels without telling the Beast about your interests. Add Sponsorblock (which supports Invidious) to get rid of any in-stream advertising which remains and you'll be transported back to those hallowed times of yore when men were men, women were women and advertising was something you found in newspapers. Youtube will try to make this harder just like Xitter is trying to make it harder to use proxies like Nitter [2].

YouTube begins new wave of slowdowns for users with ad blockers enabled
Going to drop this here for others who haven't heard of it https://invidious.io/
Now, how do we fix this? YouTube's ad model sucks. Their algorithm sucks. Their front page sucks. They've captured a bunch of creators though so often YouTube is the only place you can find someone.
I want those creators to benefit from me viewing their videos. I want the fact that I view a video and like it to help other people find that video in their recommendations. I want an algorithm that shows me things that are interesting and relevant not one that promotes the spammiest and most ad heavy videos that barely have anything to do with my watch history.
Having an alternative front end is nice but I don't want to rob YouTube of the money they spend on hosting the videos.
So, how do we do this?
Peer to peer fails when there is little interest in something or when most people leech and it sucks for archiving old content.
Hosting it all in one place is super expensive and hard for a small group to manage without turning into YouTube.
Maybe we could find a way for the creators to host their own content and get paid when people view it while being part of a large federated network for easy discoverability?
Please list any projects you know of, I'm sure there are a lot of people here who would be willing to contribute or donate.
