Hardening Google Chrome

Hello everyone,

I’ve been browsing the Privacy Guides website for privacy-oriented programs and came across Firefox, Arkenfox, and the Brave browser. I’m quite accustomed to Google Chrome and appreciate its sync function, which makes it easier to keep my bookmarks and extensions organized across all my devices. While I know Brave has a sync option, I haven’t had much luck getting it to work properly—especially when reinstalling an OS and moving the user data folder, as it often leaves out half of my data.

I’m here to ask if there are any good guides available to help me harden Google Chrome and enhance its privacy features.

Thank you very much for any information!

You just have to go to brave://settings/braveSync and enter the sync code for your sync chain and it should just sync almost everything over from your other devices.
