Advices for bookmark sync

Hello everyone!

First time poster, maniac lurker on this site. I’ve read some posts here on managing bookmarks, but I don’t really want an app or an extension to manage them, just a site to organize them that I can access from different browsers on different devices (with of course, different OSs).

Do you have any advice on this? I’d like to have something fairly private, is some of the common solution fair enough? Like raindrop.io or similar?
The threat model in this case is just “don’t sell my data”, is a burner email or alias enough?

I tried to keep a repository of links in an html file, but it’s quite messy and hard to keep synced

Firefox’s own account sync is secure and also encrypted. So, I simply recommending to use that. Of course, this only works if you’re using Firefox. You can use an alias to make an account and use it normally.

This is my actual solution, but while I know I can disable or configure Firefox on desktop as I want, I can’t do the same on mobile, also I’m on IOS, so I prefer to use Safari with a semi-sane configuration. Not the best, but it’s what I have to work with now.
If there was a site I was not aware of I would have made the change, so I didn’t have to count on any browser to have bookmarks synced.
In some way it’s a “looking forward” solution, given the latest developments.
Also not really a fan of brave, good software, but still chromium
Anyway, thanks for the advice!

I use Brave Sync for this. My main browser is Firefox so I use Floccus as my bookmark manager, but I have some bookmarks that are only on Brave.

I’ve personally been using Floccus for bookmark sync. It’s encrypted and cross-platform.

Hey, I’m the self-hosted guy! :waving_hand:t2:
If you have the time/knowledge to do it yourself, I would recommend LinkWarden or other ones from here.

Not sure how good is their native mobile app (web version?) but there is also this client for consuming the server. :+1:t2:
