About Floccus
Floccus keeps bookmarks and open tabs in step across browsers and devices without a vendor account. It syncs through a Nextcloud, Linkwarden, Karakeep, Git or WebDAV server that you can host yourself, or through Google Drive or Dropbox. Dropbox support arrived in version 5.9, and OneDrive is planned.
Apps are available for browsers, iOS and Android. Depending on the backend, it can keep bookmark order, handle ftp, javascript, data and file bookmarks, and use end-to-end encryption. The project states it has no ads and no data collection. It suits people who want bookmark sync without tying themselves to one browser.
