Hey all,

I’m using librewolf as my daily browser on my laptop and bromite on my phone. The only way I can sync bookmarks is using xBrowserSync. works gret btw. However, this piece of software is not updated for 2 years now.

Is it still the best choice?

Thanks in advance.

    All ways of syncing bookmarks are done through a server, that I’m aware of. I’m not aware of a distributed, or p2p way to sync to date. At least, they all encrypt the contents prior to sending them to the server.

    And being that case, I see no reason for not using the FF syncing mechanism, so no need for extensions at all. Just comment out:

    identity.fxaccounts.enabled

    on librewolf.cfg, or set it to true on librrewolf.overrides.cfg, or edit about:config. Set a FF account, make sure you ONLY sync bookmarks, which might be better than syncing additional stuff such as history…

    Up to you. I really don’t like any of the options, just exporting/importing seems fine to me, but that’s not really syncing, and this is the sort of things I usually forget to do, so the FF syncing it is to me.

    I’d be really interested to know of a p2p one. I don’t sync with mobile, which I have no bookmarks for, so p2p would be just great, :)

      I also enable Sync from the UI and I use a Firefox Sync account for my bookmarks and shared tabs, it’s very convenient AND it’s end-to-end encrypted which is amazing!

      my only pain is that I cannot Sync bookmarks with Firefox Focus on Android :-(
