Hello,
Steps to export settings in Brave:
- Open the Brave browser: Make sure you are using the latest version. If you have recently explored features such as removing the sidebar or learned how to close all tabs, ensure these settings are as you want them before exporting.
- Access the settings panel: Click on the three vertical dots (or hamburger menu) in the upper right corner. From the dropdown menu, select "Settings".
- Navigate to export options: In settings, there is an option to import or export browsing data. Click on it.
- Save the exported data: A window will appear, prompting you to choose a location for the exported settings. Select your preferred location and confirm.

To export and import bookmarks from the Brave web browser, it's not very complicated.
- Press the CTRL+SHIFT+B keys
- In the next menu, click on the three dots menu on the right
- Then click on Export bookmarks
- Save the HTML file to your hard drive.

Hello MPMP10,
To save the settings, the tutorial says to access the export options,
but in the settings, I don't have this option.

Hello,
Most browsers do not offer a complete solution for backing up settings, but only, for example, bookmarks or, as in Firefox, synchronization on another device; Brave is no exception:

It seems to me that, for other browsers, some third-party software, to be taken with a grain of salt, allows this.
In the meantime, the least bad solution is to make a backup copy of
C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser manually or, if you don't want to forget, through a cmd script that can be run manually or as a scheduled task:
XCOPY /s /e /h /y /i "C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser" "path to my destination"
You can improve on this by saving multiple consecutive days, deleting backups older than... but the backup with XCOPY will always be total; you may prefer to make just one this time incrementally, with ROBOCOPY, see here with Firefox which is essentially the same:
