> Huh, is this tractable?
My opinion is "yes" - the source is available and runs as a docker container, the client setup is pretty trivial (on Android you'll need Fennec or another alternate build of Firefox to get at the settings). I'm aware of one user group running a shared instance and it seems to work as advertised.

The arkenfox user.js can also do this for Firefox.

Contrary to what LibreWolf claims you do have to sacrifice usability though, including WebGL, DRM, Firefox Sync, autofill, history, and the occasional breakage. With arkenfox there is also letterboxing, and even more breakage. If you set uBlock Origin to the recommended medium mode you have to manually whitelist third-party scripts to make websites work.
The librewolf AUR package is a great starting point to make custom builds of firefox; between two json files in the settings repo you can tweak basically any relevant setting, bundle extensions (e.g. use custom forked ones without needing to either sign or disable security), search engines, handlers, branding, etc.
All in a git repo and you won't have to redo things next time you reinstall.
Librewolf is not primarily intended as the definite browser but a sane base for easily customizable and extendable firefox builds.

I am partial to the Bromite fork of Chrome on Android.
It has built-in adblock, and DNS-over-HTTPs in the setup menus.

I understand that stock Chromium can do DoH with options on the command line; I have been meaning to set this up in a few places.
The contrarian dynamic!

I believe that https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs is intended to be the modern syncserver replacement.
