Floccus is very good.

Use Firefox with a Mozilla account, sync bookmarks between browsers.

Since you already rejected xbrowsersync, I'm guessing that's not the answer you want but honestly, who needs a web client if you're syncing right into your browser?

Its also E2EE making it private. Its what I use.

Do shortcuts and addons sync between PC and Android.

[–] halm@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

This seems to be a different subject, or you're just making up new criteria on the fly 😂

Firefox has finally opened up their larger add-on repo on Android. It seems to be slow going(?) but syncing extensions across desktop and mobile should eventually be possible.

Shortcuts — idk but probably not.

Do u know any free server?

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I misread your request.

https://linkwarden.app/ has hosting for 3$ per month.

[–] itsaj26744@programming.dev 0 points 9 months ago

Nope, Either host it or pay $3 Both are not possible to me.

Feel free to try my SyncMarks. It's available for any Desktop browser and can sync across all Browsers. The backend is working as Web GUI.

Backend: https://codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Webapp

Browser Extension: https://codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Extension

I don't know what happens with manifest v3, because the Mozilla variant is not compatible to Chromium. Maybe I have to use 2 independent branches. But I try to avoid that. Manifest v3 is a big mess of bullsh*t.

But anyway feel free to try it. You are welcome.

Would raindrop.io be helpful? I use the free tier and they have a web app. They also have a lot of integrations to sync with other services but I've never used those.

Looks like dropbox for bookmarks. Privacy policy is not good.

Buku with extension Bukubrow is already good for me to have offline bookmark manager, flexibel function on CLI or browser. With Archivebox combination in my Librewolf reading my archive website.

I have used linkding and I find it pretty good.

[–] itsaj26744@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Do u know any server which accept registrations?

[–] Paco@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

I do not.

I self host it inside docker on my local network.

Do not have any web UI

[–] tun@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Look into hosting linkding on fly.io free account.

What's the difference in bookmark management versus read-it-later? Do you need compatibility with a specific browser?

Do low tech solutions work? Like passing a JSON or something around with rsync?

[–] itsaj26744@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

A bookmark manager have a option to add links and search it later to go to link like Firefox Bookmarks. But,A read it later service take a link then grab page and add it to unreaded section then u read it it and it moves to readed section like wallabag.
