Hello everyone, I’m trying to transfer my Brave profiles to a new computer by copying the profile folders from User Data and transferring them to the new computer, but the transfer is not complete, extensions and some cookies are completely missing.
I tried simply transferring the profile to a folder, I tried creating a new profile and then deleting everything in the folder of this profile and copying the data from the old profile there, I also tried transferring the entire User Data folder and still get the same result. I also tried, for the sake of an experiment, to create a new profile on the old computer and transfer the data of one of the profiles there, and on the old computer all the data is transferred, including extensions and cookies.
I understand that the whole problem is not in the data, but perhaps in the browser settings on the new computer, which is why it does not display extensions and cookies (I also checked the extensions folder on the new computer after the transfer and all the data is there, but I do not see the extensions in the browser itself). Maybe I thought so, the data is somehow encrypted and available on my current PC, but when transferred to a new computer, they are inaccessible due to encryption
As for Brave Sync, I don’t really want to upload important data to the cloud and I also tried to transfer a profile with not particularly important data and the transfer still turns out to be incomplete
I also read some topics on this topic, but mostly I found old ones from past years and some users said that this information is no longer relevant, the only thing I haven’t tried yet, on the advice of one user, is to reinstall Brave and without launching it, transfer the user data folder there
Who had this problem, please tell me how I can transfer a profile to a new computer with all the data, thank you in advance for your help
