Do I need to regularly open Brave on my phone to keep sync database up to date or it’s always up to date as long as only one browser is active ?
I feel like it’s p2p unlike Firefox’s centralized approach (more reliable imo)
If you sync history you have to regularly open Brave on all devices on the sync chain because after a certain time (about 2 weeks for me) it doesn’t sync properly anymore and you have to make a new sync chain. :-/
If you don’t sync history it should work fine for months without syncing.
It only updates when you actively open the browser.

I use it to sync my bookmarks since i use Brave on desktop and it has e2ee , might switch to floccus or a better foss e2ee alternative soon
Just bookmarks should be fine. The problems with the sync chain arise when you store too much data (=your history) in the chain and then try to sync that.
