Workaround for Brave Browser's Sync Chain breaking after Migration Assistant (TL;DR in Description)
AJ ONeal
IMPORTANT: Read Carefully You've gotta do these things in this order: (and you must have your sync code ready)
- Go to brave://settings
- Reset the settings
- Refresh and reset again (it'll ask 3 times)
- Close
- Repeat 1-3
- Go to brave://sync-internals
- Click "Stop Sync" and "Disable Sync" a few times each
- Repeat 1-4 and 6-7
- Go to brave://sync
- Enter your sync code
- COPY THE CODE
- Refresh and paste the code again
- DO NOT reset settings (instead click "Cancel" or "Ok")
- Close and re-open the browser
- Possibly repeat 12
Even with all that... some settings may not sync correctly - you may need to reinstall your theme, reset your search engine, and enter a password in again to give the password sync a jump start.
