Ask HN: Are you syncing the browsers history and passwords accross devices?

4 points by bugBunny 6y ago ↗ HN

I'm old-fashioned, I don't trust people or companies :) but syncing between devices would save me a lot of time, no matter if it's passwords or pages I've visited. Should I separate important and irrelevant passwords? How safe is it? Also, which browser do you use for this purpose, if you use one.

I self host bitwarden for password management. This gives me access to passwords on all my devices. I don’t sync history however, nor tabs.

Yes I can mix up my own password encryption on some cloud service.. I need sites I came across at work machine to quickly reopen when at home office.

I use unix pass https://passwordstore.org and a self-hosted git repo to sync my passwords across devices. I don't trust any browsers with my data passing through their servers.
