Shameless plug: A while ago I wrote a cli for firefox sync [1] (in my case mostly to automate some stuff when I create bookmarks).

It does not really solve your problem for browser-history/credentials etc. But as long as you use a client that you verified you can be kinda sure the data is E2E encrypted and can't be read by Mozilla.

Also on a side note: To this day the weave protocol is one of the more (needlessly) complex protocols I ever implemented and I'm still not sure what problems some of the design decisions solve...

Does this have the ability to read the open tabs that are synced from all devices?
