Yes, it was a problem for me too. They don't want us to leave. Well, I tried this. I copied all brave data and paste it inside google chrome data. Warning: first import google chrome data and try this later. 1. Go to C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\ 2. Copy all the data inside user data folder 3. Paste it here: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\ 4.

Key word: copied. Make a copy of its settings/data directory so you can start over trying various means of recovery. Don't have one copy you're opening in multiple programs.
