What Hacker News says
4 sourcesit's a bit dated, but works fine for self-hosting and it's a single go binary to run - https://github.com/ishani/xSyn
In Xbrowsersync – open-source Bookmark SynchingI'll add that it works well across chrome/brave/firefox.
You can self-host it with 3d party https://github.com/ishani/xSyn
Which is written in go so it's as simple as running a binary.
In Google has turned off access to sync features for ChromiumI wish people differentiate various web based bookmark services from actual browser bookmark synchronizers.
After xmarks' demise it was really hard to find correct replacement due to the above. I want to use native bookmarks in my browser instantly including locator search etc.
I ended up using awesome xBrowserSync which has cross firefox/chrome extensions to sync bookmarks. I self host with excellent and compact https://github.com/ishani/xSyn server written in go. Though you could use public servers as it's client side encrypted and anonymous.
