Sync stops working randomly and cannot be restarted without new sync chain. (Bookmarks no longer syncing, send to device no longer working reliably either.)

As per Mattches, one of the support people for Brave, it’s a known issue they are working on.

Plus, you would have seen Alexey, one of the devs for Sync, who said things earlier in this topic, such as beginning where linked below:

I agree that it can be shocking how long it takes for Brave to get issues figured out sometimes. They seem to bounce from one project to the next, sometimes forgetting things they were supposed to get done. Deadlines often gets missed and “soon” frequently gets mentioned when seems to actually mean “eventually, maybe.” For example, were changes that we were told were going to happen to sync more than a year ago but then nothing happened.

And, of course, in the process they forget to come back to update topics or to post updates anywhere. Even following things on Github leads you to a lot of things that are kind of dead in the water, having been projects in the works since as far back as 2018.

Yes, that sounds quite bad. However, I do know they are constantly churning things out and doing their best. They are only human and are limited on what can be done. Brave should be hiring more people, but they aren’t. So we just find ourselves in a situation of knowing that we have some awesome people working on things and often we just have to be patient. It’s not what we want to hear as users, but it’s about where things stand.
