Bookmarks & Plug-ins Not Saving to Ribbon

Browser Support Desktop Support
1

Bookmarks added to the top ribbon are not saving. They will show up on the ribbon but once I close my browser and reopen it’s not longer there. Same thing for deleting a bookmark on the ribbon. It reappears when I reopen my browser. Similarly, the ExpressVPN plug-in gets added but disappears and needs to be reinstalled after closing and opening my browser. I’m using a Windows 11 laptop and the Brave version is 1.68.137 Chromium: 127.0.6533.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Is there an online Chat Support agent with Brave that could assist with my issue?

No, Brave doesn’t offer such a thing.

Would tend to happen here.

  • Do you have any bookmarks saved or it’s always empty?

  • Have you double checked your settings to make sure you aren’t doing something like clearing data on exit?

  • Using any extensions or 3rd party tools to clear data? For example, CCleaner or Avast Cleaner?

  • Installing this through Google extension store (web store) or how are you installing it?

Hello, thank you for your reply. Here are my responses:

  • Do you have any bookmarks saved or it’s always empty? - Yes, the same 11 bookmarks stay on my ribbon. Adding new ones to the ribbon stay until I close and reopen browser.
  • Have you double checked your settings to make sure you aren’t doing something like clearing data on exit? - I believe nothing is set to cause issues. I have “Continue where you left off” selected as a setting for “On startup” and “Delete browsing data” “On exit” is not turned on.
  • Using any extensions or 3rd party tools to clear data? For example, CCleaner or Avast Cleaner? - Just Adblock
  • Installing this through Google extension store (web store) or how are you installing it? - Installed Brave browser by Googling and downloading from a browser, no web / app store.

On a different laptop, I installed Brave and added bookmarks to the ribbon and it seems to be staying on the ribbon. Similarly, ExpressVPN plug-in stays added to the Brave browser, whereas, it gets uninstalled on my laptop in question.

Thanks for any additional help,

@CPArborist86,
First, can you please go ahead and update to the latest build of the browser (v1.68.141)?
I would be interested to know whether or not this occurs in a new profile — could you please open the browser, go to Menu --> More tools --> Add new profile and create a new profile.

Then, close your original profile, save some bookmarks in the new profile, close and reopen it and see if the issue persists there.
