Let's say a member of this community set up a Sync server and invited us all
to use it. It would be better if a beginner, using Trisquel for the first
time, could switch their Abrowser to using this community-hosted server by
making a simple change in the GUI, either in Sync UI itself or somewhere in
the Abrowser settings.

Abrowser already ships with that freedom, so I'm fine with it.
By this logic, the Amazon lens spyware shipped in Ubuntu was not a problem,
because Ubuntu shipped with the freedom to turn it off or remove it. This was
Ubuntu apologists' excuse at the time, and seems like a pretty shallow
understanding of software freedom to me. YMMV.
