No problem; and, you are OK.
‘Where Brave Browser Profiles Are Located’
- MacOS:
/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default
Specifically, the BraveSoftware folder. When an Internet browser has had a problem on the Mac, I Exit / Quit everything, move that folder to the Desktop ( /Users/[username]/Desktop ) and locate one of the more recently backed up folders ← that I have stored with chronological names. Example of backup filename:
20260115_EST_Thursday_Brave_v1.85.120_BraveSoftwareBKUP.zip
So I know the backup to use, per Brave Browser version. My backup application produces a filename:
20260115_EST_Thursday_BraveSoftwareBKUP.zip
And I might edit that name, to include the Brave_v1.85.120 portion.
IOW, I maintain a chronological record of potential restoration files, so I know “what is where, and when”. I do not leave the matter soley to the MacOS Time Machine.
When a browser seems troubled - usually obvious within a day or two - I take steps to replace the existing BraveSoftware folder:
- MacOS:
/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware
Re extensions - many of them are subject to being updated.
