   @dymaxion Firefox can be configured officially to use your own sync server instead of theirs, but it's a massive nasty software stack to run.

   Otherwise, there are ways of transferring your profile. It can be done with adb, or direct filesystem access if you have root. AFAIK none of them are normie-accessible though.

     Changing phones, and my god it's fucking annoying what a walked garden chrome and firebox both are. Like Jesus fuck, absolutely zero possibilities to move bookmarks if you're not using their fucking desktop sync protocols? Like, it's bad enough that you have to use sync in the first place, but there's literally no phone to phone option? Not to mention no option to, you know, just use a fucking json file.
