You can change firefox' start page with addons.
Iceraven is a fully open source Firefox fork.
Ungoogled Chromium is the same for chromium.
But what about sync functionality on Ungoogled Chromium? Would I need to depend on Google for sync features? I use those quite often, and Google is certainly not someone I would trust with my tabs, if I can avoid it.
I think you can't sync ungoogled chromium at all. At least that is how i remember it. Don't quote me on it
You can also change the tab size in Firefox.
Go to about:config and change
browser.tabs.tabMinWidth
What exactly are you trying to sync? If it's just passwords I recommend switching to a proper Password Manager like Bitwarden. There are plugins for both Gecko and Chromium.
I use sync for bookmarks and sending links berween devices. I could work around not having the latter, but are there any good options for keeping bookmarks synced between computers?
You could use SyncThing to sync the bookmark files across your devices.
I know on Ubuntu those are stored at ~/.mozilla/firefox/.default-release/bookmarkbackups,
and on Windows at C:\Users<your Windows login username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Mostly tabs. My browser tabs.
