XBROWSERSYNC


BROWSER SYNCING AS IT SHOULD BE: SECURE, ANONYMOUS AND FREE!

Download xBrowserSync now and start taking back control of your data!


SECURE

Your data is encrypted and decrypted on your device. No one but you can read it.


ANONYMOUS

No sign up required and no personal data is collected. Just install and sync.


FREE

There are no charges for using xBrowserSync and you’ll never see a single ad.
Ever.

xBrowserSync is a free and open-source alternative to browser syncing tools
offered by companies like Google, Firefox, Opera and others. The project was
born out of a concern for the over-reliance on services provided by big tech,
who collect as much personal data as they can and have demonstrated that they do
not respect their user’s privacy. Now, with the proliferation of open-source
code and projects it’s easier than ever to create tools and services that allow
users to take back control of their data!

xBrowserSync respects your privacy and gives you complete anonymity. No sign up
is required and no personal data is ever collected. To start syncing simply
download xBrowserSync for your desktop browser or mobile platform, enter an
encryption password and click Create New Sync! You’ll receive an anonymous sync
ID which identifies your data and can be used to access your data on other
browsers and devices.

xBrowserSync does not only sync but also enhances your productivity by enriching
your native browser bookmarks with the addition of descriptions and tags, and an
intuitive search interface enables you to find, modify and share bookmarks
quickly and easily. xBrowserSync even adds descriptions and tags to new
bookmarks for you automatically. And don’t ever worry about losing your data
thanks to the included back up and restore functionality.

The xBrowserSync desktop browser web extension syncs your browser data between
desktop browsers. It works with the browser’s native bookmarking features so you
can keep using the native tools whilst always staying in sync. If you like to
organise your bookmarks into folders don’t worry, xBrowserSync respects your
bookmark hierarchy and syncs it across your browsers.

Get the xBrowserSync mobile app for your Android mobile device. Search through
your synced bookmarks just as you would using the web extension, except adding
new bookmarks is as easy as sharing from your favourite apps (browsers, YouTube,
Spotify and many other apps that share URLs).

Choose from a growing list of public xBrowserSync services to sync to, or run
your very own xBrowserSync service for syncing in complete privacy. The
xBrowserSync team runs the official xBrowserSync service which is the default
service that xBrowserSync uses, but anyone can run their own service and take
complete control of their data.

The number of xBrowserSync users are growing every day and the code base is
active and being constantly improved. The current roadmap is to support all
major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Edge), and sync open tabs and history
as well as bookmarks. If you would like to contribute to the development of
xBrowserSync to help deliver functionality sooner, read more on how you can get
involved.

are run independently by volunteers who have kindly offered the use of their
service to the public.

WANT TO CONTRIBUTE? GET INVOLVED!

xBrowserSync is only possible because like-minded individuals contribute their
time and talent to make it work. If you use xBrowserSync and want to contribute,
you can:

CODE

If you know how to dev JavaScript web apps or Node.js Express web services,
check out the current issues list for the web extension/mobile app or API and
submit a pull request for a fix or enhancement. If you’re planning on
implementing a new feature then please do let us know and we’ll co-ordinate with
you to help get it done.

TRANSLATE

The lives of software developers would be far easier if everyone just spoke
English, but the world would indeed be the poorer for it. If you are able and
willing to help translate xBrowserSync to another language, click here to get
started.

DONATE

Even the smallest donations mean that we can continue to improve xBrowserSync
and ensure that it remains an effective tool in protecting our privacy and
productivity against the rot of big tech! We accept donations via Liberapay,
Patreon or cryptos.

SUGGEST

Found a bug? Want to request a new feature? Head on over to GitHub and submit an
issue for either the web extension/mobile app or the API.

HOST

The number of xBrowserSync users are growing every day and those users require
xBrowserSync services to sync their data to. In order for xBrowserSync to remain
free, we need volunteers who are willing to host a public xBrowserSync service
on their own server for users to sync to. If you are interested in hosting a
service, clone or download the xBrowserSync API source code from our GitHub repo
and follow the instructions in the README. Once your service is up and running,
let us know the URL so it can be added to the list of public xBrowserSync
services.

FAQS

What exactly does xBrowserSync sync?

Currently, xBrowserSync syncs bookmarks but support for syncing tabs and history
will be added in a future release. Password syncing will likely not be added for
several reasons, primarily that we believe online password managers are more
curse than blessing as they provide convenience at the heavy cost of
centralising the risk of all of your online accounts being compromised. If you
must use a password manager then we recommend using a trusted offline solution
such as KeePass rather than online or browser-based managers. Check the roadmap
for more information on planned major feature development.

Which browsers are supported by xBrowserSync?

Currently xBrowserSync supports Chromium, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
Support for Opera, Brave, Vivaldi and Microsoft Edge (Chromium) is targeted for
v1.6.0. Check the roadmap for more information on planned browser/platform
support.

Does xBrowserSync support Firefox-based browsers such as Waterfox and Pale Moon?

No, however forks that stay up to date with Firefox may still work, such as
Waterfox. Pale Moon is based on an old build of Firefox and so xBrowserSync will
not work with it.

Will xBrowserSync support Safari?

No and it is extremely unlikely this will ever happen due to Apple moving away
from the WebExtensions API and forcing developers to purchase Apple hardware and
pay $99/year to develop on their platform.

What happened to the xBrowserSync iOS app?

Unfortunately, we had to pull the iOS app due to the inability to continue
supporting continuous breaking iOS updates from Apple. Not only was this
impractical from the goal of having a shared xBrowserSync codebase for all
platforms, but it also meant having to purchase newer Apple hardware to develop
on as well as paying $99/year for an Apple developer license. Combined with
Apple’s extremely stringent App Store submission review process, we couldn't
justify the iOS app holding up new releases for the other platforms, so the hard
decision was taking to pull iOS support completely. We apologise to all Apple
users who wanted to continue using xBrowserSync and ask those users to consider
moving to Android which is far more developer-friendly, as well as providing
many other benefit$ over the Apple ecosystem.
