Brave is built on the Chromium platform. Many of its features come from Google Chrome. There are some crucial differences, though.
Set Start.me as your homepage
When you set Start.me as the default homepage for Brave, you can access your favorite bookmarks and widgets faster and more efficiently.
The default setting for Brave is to open with their version of a start page. First, make sure you open with a Start.me page.
Instructions
Open the settings page from Brave by clicking the Menu Icon (top-right) or go there directly by typing
brave://settingsin the address bar.On the Settings page, go to On startup. Toggle the third option: "Open a specific page or set of pages" and click "Set pages." Here you can type "
https://start.me."While you're there, make sure to toggle the option under "Bookmarks bar" to "Show the bookmarks bar." This will come in handy later.
Set Start.me as your new tab page
Brave does not permit changing the default New Tab Page setting. There is a workaround. You can use the Start.me Chrome extension.
Install Start.me Chrome Extension
The Start.me Chrome extension makes adding bookmarks and RSS feeds to your Start.me page much easier.
Brave does support the direct installation of our Chrome extension.

Import bookmarks
Now it's time to import the bookmarks you'd like to transfer from other browsers. You'll only have to do this once. When you've stored them on your Start.me page, you can access them from any browser.
Make sure you've exported your bookmarks in HTML format.
Click the Add content button.
In the Add content pane, scroll down, and locate the button 'Import bookmarks.'
Click the Import bookmarks button and browse to the HTML file with your bookmarks.
Click Import.
Once the importing has finished, you will see a prompt 'Your import has been completed.'
Click 'Close' to continue.
Get Bookmarklet
Just like the extension, the bookmarklet allows you to bookmark links with one single click from your bookmark bar.
