Taken from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/1f1mgoq/why_doesnt_sync_everything_actually_sync/
By this, when syncing to a new browser, I still have to run through the setup and disable all the crud I’d already disabled on every install…
Enter the sync code… Select “Sync Everything”, then wait a bit…
Then go and: Settings → Apperance:
-
Disable:
-
Show Bookmarks button
-
Show Brave News button
-
Show Leo AI button
-
Show Brave Rewards button
-
Show Brave Wallet button
-
Enable:
-
Use wide address bar
-
Always show full URLs Change:
-
Tab hover mode → Card with preview
Settings → Privacy and security:
-
Disable:
-
Allow privacy-preservice product analytics (P3A)
-
Automatically send daily usage ping to Brave
Settings → Leo:
-
Disable:
-
Show Leo icon in the sidebar
-
Show Leo in the content menu on websites
Settings → Languages:
-
Enable:
-
Use spell check for (all options)
Settings → Downloads:
-
Disable:
-
Show downloads when they’re done
Settings → System:
-
Disable:
-
Continue running background apps when Brave is closed
That’s my set of settings - none of which are actually synced when “Sync Everything” is selected.
Why does it miss so much?
