The server automatically detects installed browsers in this order:

1. Brave
2. Chrome
3. Chromium

If multiple browsers are found, you'll be prompted to select one.

Override auto-detection by setting CHROMIUM_PROFILE_PATH:

export CHROMIUM_PROFILE_PATH=~/.config/google-chrome/Default

Saved Preference

When prompted to select a browser, choose save_default: true to save your preference to ~/.config/chromium-sync/profile.

How It Works

This server reads directly from your browser's local profile files:

• History: SQLite database
• Bookmarks: JSON file
• Synced Tabs: LevelDB (contains tabs from all your synced devices)

No authentication or network requests required.
