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).

Firefox Sync on Raspberry Pi ? / Dead project??
Would love to host Firefox Sync Server on a local Pi but the project seems to have died? https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver
- Looking for a solution to synchronise bookmarks across PCs and mobile. I know there have been numerous threads but none of them for mobile.

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?

Self-hosted bookmark manager, what would you suggest?
I just followed the docker-compose guide from official repo: https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

Bookmark manager with a focus on organization?
So far my best option seem to be https://github.com/kanishka-linux/reminiscence(which I haven't seen in any list of these type of apps for some reason) but that received no updates in 5 years(the dev apparently has no free time to work on it in the foreseeable future) and it has a few active bugs so if I can find something more stable, it would be ideal.

Alternatives to ArchiveBox?
I used ArchiveBox but had some version migration issues with Docker which invalid my entire archive. It was also too resource-hogging for my cheap NAS. Then I looked into Reminiscence after but way to complicated to set-up for me.
-
Something similar to outline dot com?
I do find another project called Reminiscence, it works quite similar to ArchiveBox so the chance of bypassing paywalls is low, but still worth a try.

APSE – A Personal Search Engine
I’ve seen a handful of this kind of “Google, but only for things I’ve seen before” app. I think it’s something the world needs, but there are a lot of different approaches and I don’t think anyone has quite nailed it.
Ultimately the best solutions will likely use many different cataloging strategies depending on the content, and will allow you to tag or otherwise organize important content.
Funny enough if I had such an app I could make a list of 4 or 5 apps, but right now can only find one:
https://github.com/amirgamil/apollo
I remember seeing one posted to HN that used the browser API to essentially dump all resources on every website you visit to disk.
There’s also bookmarking and archiving tools like:
