Browser Sync Community Group
This group was closed on 2023-04-07.
The major browsers provide users with a means of synchronizing their data across browser instances, but the services behind that synchronization process are not controlled by users, and users don't have the ability to sync the data of their choice, or sync with other browsers.
Our goal is to create a specification for a browser sync process that gives users more control over their data, gives developers the ability to sync specific data for their web applications, and allows for a diverse marketplace of sync backend providers.

Call to action

Good morning! I’ve written a call to action explaining why I think this community group is important, and some of the problems that we should be trying to solve in our discussions here. Please read and share:
Open Sync: Your Browser Data in Your Hands
One of our first goals should be to make sure the existence and mission of this community group is known to as many potentially interested parties as possible. I know a handful of people at Mozilla whom I’ve reached out to, but if any of you know people working on Chrome, Safari, Opera, or other browsers, or anyone at Dropbox, Sync, Box, or at Google working on Drive, please let them know that we would greatly appreciate their participation.
Thanks!

As far as “next-generation bookmarking”, the OpenAnnotation W3C Community Draft spec solves for many things. [1]
JSON-LD may be a bit more likely to gain support from browsers and services than RDF/XML. [2]
