Vlad Why would you not want to use Apple's infrastructure that comes built into every Apple device by default?

Apple can no longer offer Advanced Data Protection in the United Kingdom to new users. https://support.apple.com/en-us/122234

Eventually users who already have ADP enabled will be asked to disable EE2E on their iCloud accounts.

Many like myself are now looking for alternatives to Safari that don't rely on iCloud for syncing.

    DJM0 Brave could be an option for now, hopefully Orion supports Syncing soon.

      Coming from Firefox and being a platform-hopper myself, I too was looking for a cross-platform link sync. I asked ChatGPT Deep Research what the best open source, self-hostable, cross platform bookmark sync system is. It looks like Linkwarden is the answer.

      It is popular (has the most Github stars, >10k, of all apps in the category), AGPL-3 licensed, and actively developed by a company which offers a hosting service for it. It has a Chrome or Firefox extension. It also supports both heirarchical (tree / folder style) links and tagging, as well as performing full-text indexing for search.

      LinkAce, linkding, and Wallabag get honorable mentions.

        Exactly this! Once/if I am forced to remove ADP I will have to look for alternatives too.

        Would sync via Webdav be possible? Then people could use other services, even self-hosted ones. I know that Alfred.app for example can be synced via Webdav and I think OmniFocus offers this, too. And when Orion for Linux comes, iCloud can't be used for sync.
