Excuse me for jumping in, but from other posts, it is recommended you copy the entire Brave-Browser folder and not just the User Data. You will replace the entire folder.
Here are some links:

@DUS10 ,
For this, Syncing is definitely your best option — especially if you’re moving between two different OSs. And yes you are correct:
Install Brave on a Windows machine
Replace User data folder in new installation with the one on your USB
Ensure that all your data is still there
Setup a Sync chain between the windows machine and your mac
Ensure the Sync everything option is selected
Mattches did indicate using just user data folder in his post. And that should work, but I would back up both separately just in case…
