On Linux and Android. What are privacy oriented alternatives to Firefox now that it's no longer trustworthy?

The ability to sync between devices would be a huge bonus, even just on a local network.

Can’t trust Mozilla anymore with the data, so you’re better off finding alternatives. You can check out: xBrowserSync

You can also just selfhost Firefox sync!

I wish, but at 10MB size limit, it won't do
