Reason to Use Firefox Is Sync That Works
Firefox's sync service is open source [1], so you can self-host it and update your about:config to point to it. I do this and it works great.
Caveat is that I've linked to the old Python one, and they've got a new Rust one, but it didn't support SQLite the last time I had checked.

Self-host(able) sync server for web browser? [Need Suggestions!]
I'm currently self-hosting Firefox's sync server, its been working good for a year now. Syncing everything, bookmarks, history between Windows, Mac and Android. I like Firefox but I want to switch browsers after reading this (Not necessarily this issue, but the possibilty of something similar that can't be avoided happening in the future).

Ask HN: Is anyone successfully self-hosting Firefox Sync?
Their issue tracker suggests that it’s mostly due to their team being focused on the main Firefox service:
https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver/issues/264#is...
I’m sure it wouldn’t be that hard to port but if they’re committed to a different direction it’s probably best not to give the impression that you should plan to keep using it.
- If Firefox shuts down what would be the next best private mobile browser that encrypts sync data?
