Description of the issue:
Today I installed Brave on my Windows machine: I went through all the settings, tweaked them according to my needs, imported my bookmarks from Firefox, started all my sessions, and set up sync. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until… I installed Brave on my Linux partition and realized it doesn’t sync settings across devices — or at least not all of them. I Googled it, and it turns out this is a common issue. But come on, is this some kind of joke? I’ve had consistent settings on Firefox for over 20 years — does this mean I have to spend 30 minutes reconfiguring everything every time I install Brave on a new device?
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Install Brave and turn on sync
Reproduces how often:
Every time a new installation is performed
Brave Version(See the About Brave

Type of devices currently running on the Sync chain in question:
Windows 11 and Ubuntu 25.04
