Configure

Profiles

Profiles in Brave are AWESOME, similar to chromium but better...

  • Brave seems to remember what desktop the windows were on!!! HELLLLLLLS YEAH
  • For each profile, you get a name and customizable icon in the top-right of the toolbar, HELLSSSSSS YESSS
  • Bookmarks etc. are all profile-specific, as expected

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

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

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!
