I think an interesting middle ground would be to connect to existing browser sync storage. Personally, one of the (few) disadvantages of Link Bubble is that my Link Bubble history is separate from my main browser history (I don't really want to remember whether I read something in Link Bubble or elsewhere if I'm trying to find it later). Connecting to existing sync services would be a nice way of dealing with that.

What services are you talking about? The history Android permission, or something else? Certainly I don't think there's any such API for Chrome.

As a Firefox user, I thought of Firefox Sync first, which seems to have enough documentation to make a third-party client: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Firefox_Sync

I find it a bit surprising that Chrome doesn't have something similar (or is the relevant sync code just too buried in Chromium?).
