Have setup Brave on Samsung tablet to sync with desktop.
A part from bookmarks syncing, what else is expected to sync with the tablet app?

bookmarks for sure… that’s all I use sync for and only to sync bookmarks to android… turn off sync when bookmarks are done… tabs but the syncing of tabs could very slow… at least from the posts here about tab syncing…
What about history?
Doesn’t say anything about that in app. settings.

The history thing I got from another post and it had a link to a history syncing issue that said what isn’t synced in terms of history…
@danielson ,
All data should sync between desktop and Android devices. You can set which individual data types will sync on the Sync settings page:

Just a little off topic (sorry) but is there a way to export settings from Android browser and import them after restart or reinstall? (How?)
Cheeperspats!
How did i ever miss that one?!
@danielson ,
Did that resolve the issue for you?
@sig unfortunately no, not at this time. I’ve been pushing to include something like this in mobile builds for a while now:

feature/importer

## Description _This issue was originally created a couple years ago (#150) but I felt requires a bit of a bump and update given how frequently it's requested._
**Many users are "blocked" from switching over to Brave due to the inability to import their browsing data** (any/call data, but primary concern seems to be bookmarks) **into Brave from another browser.** Many users have several years worth of [bookmarks] saved (a la @rebron's 2000+ bookmarks from 2011 - present!) and manually re-entering/saving all this data is unrealistic. **This option allows users to try/switch over to Brave without having to sacrifice their data** - which, after import, can now be Synced across all their devices.
**The ability to export bookmarks/browsing data also solves the issue of "backing up" your data as well** - something Brave Sync doesn't offer. This is _particularly_ relevant when un/re-installing the app:
- If Brave is uninstalled, all associated data is cleared along with it. This can be frustrating for users who have important [bookmarks, passwords, etc] saved to Brave but either had to or tried (unknowingly) uninstalling the app to fix an issue, change devices, or any other relevant reason.
- Giving users the option to export their data to an HTML file (most likely) **ensures that their data is not lost should they need or want to uninstall or move the app on their device.**
### Additional Notes
Just for frame of reference - _Several_ popular web browsers already offer this option, including
- Firefox
- Vivaldi
- Opera
- Kiwi
- And even Dolphin
I’ve added your report to the issue as well.

Excellent, thank you.
In general, this should be the first thing implemented in every app right from v0.00.01 - if not for anything else then for testing
Yes!!
Clicked the heart icon but forgot to hit the “solution” one…
Thank you!
