I wonder if they’re using my data to something or spying on me.
Because I use Firefox Sync to sync mostly my history. I don’t have bookmarks, I just remember what site I want to access by its URL then I start typing and the autocomplete do the rest.
For example, to access Lemmy I just type “le” because the only site I most access and starts with “le” is “lemmy.world”. Rarely I get some conflict on this approach. And it works on both my phone and desktop.
I wonder if should I change this approach to avoid Firefox Sync or I can trust on Firefox Sync.
Yeah I started using librewolf recently and its been on my to do list to self host the sync part, seems easier than a bookmark manager.
That’ll just leave password manager and email not self hosted but I don’t think I want to for those two
Vaultwarden is a self-hosted, fully FOSS implementation of the Bitwarden API that works with all Bitwarden Apps and Browser Addons.
Been using it for years and am extremely happy with it. It’s fully client encrypted so the server only works as storage for fully encrypted blobs
Keepass with syncthing seems to be fine for passwords.
I think email is a rabbitbhole so leave that for the pros.
email? What email does FF have access to, and what does it sync?
to use firefox’s builtin sync feature with their official server you need a mozilla account, and to create one you need to provide an email addr.
