I opened Brave, all data missing, like a fresh install. I had updated with the latest version. I then tried launching with the old version the way it was. Same thing.
That’s it. I hadn’t used it in a while. Sessions, history, extensions, settings, etc. all gone.
In a Brave Browser New Window, go to brave://version and in the resulting page, report what you see for lines beginning with:
NOTE: For Profile Path substitute character string “username” for your actual username (in other words, be mindful of protecting your actual username).
The one item that you might be able to rescue, is your bookmarks collection . . . but right now, the Bookmarks file’s whereabouts are unknown in your description.
Can you please tell me what the purpose of these instruction are for? This is a portable install. I already know the install folder. I’m aware that the listed profile is in Appdata/local
I launched a Brave setup that was working properly. Now, everything is wiped out.
When first opened, a notification that says Reinstall Brave pops up.The same behavior occurs with all the backups I created.
Is there an explanation? Is this how brave behaves when it isn’t used for a period of time?
I didn’t know If I was reporting a bug, or if somehow this is how Brave is designed to behave. What do I do now? I don’t see any means here to report a bug.
In a Brave Browser New Window, go to brave://version from the information in the resulting page, report what you see for the lines beginning with:
NOTE: For Profile Path substitute character string “username” for your actual username (in other words, be mindful of protecting your actual username).
