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).

How trustworthy is Mozilla Firefox with user accounts and data?
Been self-hosting their unmaintained repo https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver for 2 years with 0 maintenance required (honestly forgot I had it running until I saw this thread).

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?

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.

Discount for bookmarks app: Bookmarks - Read Later ($8.99 -> $0.99)
I have used things like xsync, raindrop and others over the years and recently started using Floccus (https://floccus.org/) which is free and opensource just does not support Safari. Private bookmarks on my own sync system and can keep any chromium or firefox based browsers bookmarks and tabs synced.
