Yes, I saw something in it about syncing but I guess it only syncs itself between devices. If I'm not mistaken it can import from other browsers, although maybe not from Brave for some reason..
Yes, instructions say you can choose Import Data and then select the
source browser and which things you want to import, so it looks like
it should work reasonably well with some browsers..
I am sold on Brave. It is very reliable, so I will stick with it.
Does it work on Banking and financial sites? I find some sites refuse to allow Opera, likely because it blocks their ability to 'spy' on who you
are to verify your identity.

Mainly there's just one banking site that does that to me on Opera so I
just use something else there but I'm pretty sure there's a way to set
Opera to not protect your identity for a specific site, but it hasn't
been enough of an issue for me to look into it more. I run an older
version of Opera on my main Laptop, since it is running Windows 7, and
that site works fine from there but the Android version on my phone is
kept right up to date and that's the one that causes issues..
One thing that I find annoying regarding browsers... "private/incognito" mode is supposed to afford you a little more security. So, I usually use that to access any systems that may contain my sensitive information (like the bank) and that require a userid/password.
The problem there is that the bank site is always going to treat that private mode browser session as a red flag, which means I always get a lot more "are you a robot" challenges with pictures or other things that are barely legible, even on a decent sized monitor.
It is an annoyance but I guess it is more secure than the alternative. ;)

Most of the financial sites I use these days have the double log-in where they text or eMail (or can phone) you a pin number that you use after
you've already signed on with a password. I haven't run across those stupid hard to see Photo 'robot' challenges on the banking sites up here
but last
week I went to go on a banking site I rarely use from my phone and there was some part of the Login that would have taken an annoying amount of time to find on the phone so I gave up and disconnected. The next time I go to that bank site, they won't let me log on unless I jump through a lot of hoops
and tell them that, yes, that was me the other day.. and then they insisted that I go in and change security questions and my password and such before
I can get to my account, this on my computer now.
Fortunately (?) when I went to the security setup (at about 2 AM) access
was down (for maintenance?) and I was able to bypass that and did get on.
Now that I think about it, I haven't been back there yet so I don't know
for sure I won't get hit with the same thing again next time..

I absolutely *hate* it and wish complete & utter destruction on it. Not o is it one of the zillion Chromium forks taking over the Internet through false competition, but it's run by known anti-LGBTQIA+ anti-vaxxer cryptoshit Brendan Eich, and has cryptoshit deeply & irreversibly integra into it.
Nowadays, I find it a bonus rather than a malus when something is run by somebody who angers easily offended people. I guess Brave gets some ++ point for not sponsoring the word soup brigade.
I use Firefox myself with the arkenfox user.js and some other tricks. Brave very popular among people who wants a Chromium based browser with adblocking integrated, so I appreciate it exists. I am a fan of most stuff that starves the advertisement industry, specially hypocrite bullies such as Google.
--I had never heard of Brave Browser until today. I will stick with Firefox for the time. I used it since it was Mozilla brower and never had any issue with it.I have Google blocked in my hosts file and have not missed it. I did the same with bing and only have problems with a few websites not loading, i just find a work around and do just fine.
