Hi all,

I’m currently using Firefox with a self-hosted sync server, and since I have to use Chrome on a Chromebook (because Firefox for Android’s UI is terrible for tablet/laptop mode), I use Floccus to sync there. I’ve been using this setup for years and it works great. (And no, I don’t want to run Firefox for Linux on the Chromebook, it doesn’t work well.)

However, I’d like to switch to a standard browser that has a tab-based UI on Android tablets (vs Firefox’s click the box, then choose a tab from the list method). I’m looking for a browser that is Open Source (sorry Vivaldi) that I can use in Linux and on Android with a UI that’s good in tablet/desktop mode. It must support some form of self-hosted sync, preferably for settings/themes/etc in the browser.

Does anyone know of anything? As far as I know, nothing exists short of Chromium with no settings sync and something like Floccus. I’ve built sync extensions before, so I’m tempted to look at Chromium source and see if I can modify it to sync to another API interface.

Thanks.
