At least theoretically, it should be possible to build Chromium with such customizations; you'll lose the benefits of the Google walled garden, but you'll gain a bit of user freedom as well (probably won't be point-and-click, alas).


Sadly Chrome sync is one of the major thing that keeps me on Chrome, it just works and syncs everything.


I wonder if it would be possible to build an open-source Chromium sync plugin? (Self-hosted, ideally). Is anyone already working on this?


Chromium syncs with your Google account, but in my experience is a bit buggier, at least on Linux.
