Brave

Configure

Settings

Immediately change these Settings on any new profile:

Get started > Profile name and icon > customize it!
Get started > New Tab Page > shows > Homepage
Appearance > Toolbar > Show home button ON, set to bitpost.com
Brave Rewards > Show Brave Rewards in bar OFF
Sync > I have a chain > paste, toggle Sync everything ON

Profiles

Profiles in Brave are AWESOME:

Brave seems to remember what desktop the windows were on!!! FINALLY
For each profile, you get a name and customizable icon in the top-right of the toolbar, SO NICE
Bookmarks etc. are all profile-specific, as expected
You can sync a profile across machines (see #Sync)

Finding Profile folder

This is a bit dicey as it does not actually match the profile name! I used this bit of ugliness to get a map of name to folder:

 💉 m@cast  [~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser] grep -Po "\"name\":\"[^\"]*?\",\"(pa|usi)" * -R
Default/Preferences:"name":"moodboom","pa
Profile 4/Preferences:"name":"es-1","pa
Profile 5/Preferences:"name":"mdmdev-1","pa
Profile 6/Preferences:"name":"Profile 2","pa
Profile 7/Preferences:"name":"ig-1","usi

Set up sync

Do this for each profile:

Settings > Sync > Start a new Sync Chain > Computer > copy Sync Chain Code > save in private
Make sure Sync everything is toggled ON
You can now paste this chain into another computer to sync this profile there

Install

Copy and paste this all in one shot!
