[Instant.io](https://github.com/webtorrent/instant.io), is another peer-to-peer based solution, using [Web Torrent](https://webtorrent.io). For specifically transferring images, [Up1](https://github.com/Upload/Up1) is a good self-hosted option, with client-side encryption. Finally [PsiTransfer](https://github.com/psi-4ward/psitransfer) is a feature-rich, self-hosted file drop, using streams.
## Browser Sync
It is not advised to sign into your browser, since it allows for more of your browsing data to be exposed, and can tie anonymous identities to your real account. If you require your bookmarks to be synced across devices or browsers then these tools can help, without you having to rely on an untrustworthy third-party.

Strip out unneeded GET parameters if they reveal any device or referrer information, so as to not inadvertently allow a website to link your devices. [ClearURLs](https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls) may help with this.
