I didn't know it was possible to self-host the server, and I always felt somewhat uneasy with syncing this info on someone else's computer. So I click your link, but the repo says > Note that this repository is no longer being maintained. Use this at your own risk, and with the understanding that it is not being maintained, work is being done on its replacement, and that no support or assistance will be offered. So I guess I'll have to wait a little more...

Context: https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver/pull/294 https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver/pull/294 So basically they stopped running the older version themselves but don't consider the newer version production-ready yet. What a mess.

Unlike most browser's sync systems, Firefox's is actually end to end encrypted. Though when I log in on a mobile device I don't even have to enter the password so I kinda doubt it passes the mud puddle test. But at least the info is not just stored in the clear ready for datamining like Chrome or Edge do. Though Chrome has very recently added e2e for its passwords but not for the bookmarks.
