Firefox sync is encrypted client-side so Mozilla can't access your data. And the server is open source and self-hostable:

So is the google sync. Especially if you set an extra passphrase to decode.
Oh, cool - it sounds like the passphrase is mandatory to encrypt your synced data, it doesn't happen by default, but that's still a good start. TIL.

(I still like having the option to run my own sync server though.)

It does, but by default, it uses your google account password.
