Hence, all that firefox is storing in their servers is encrypted data, so they get zero information on your browsing history etc. The reason for this is that your data is locally encrypted (with your email and password) in your device before being synced with the server and your other devices. Does this mean they have access to your data? No. Firefox actually uses a Firefox account system to sync your data between your devices and their servers. Having a brave account means my data will be associated with an identifier/Brave will control my data (or Google/Microsoft etc). In fact, all the oppositions against having a brave account are actually non-issues for the reasons below: I see a lot of misconceptions going around. On Android it is even worse because Brave enters a network disconnected state whenever the phone sleeps that prevents it from doing that periodic refresh until several minutes later. All the browser clients are relying on a periodic refresh. I think the issue with Brave sync right now is that there doesn't seem to be "push notifications" whenever browser state is updated.
I filed this bug for the sync slowness on Android, but unfortunately the devs are taking a really long time to fix it. It definitely seems less real time than Chrome's sync, especially when syncing to mobile. I agree with you on the slowness of the sync though. I don't mind entering the long key code since how often do I really need to type it out? If it really bothers you, you can use a password manager to store the key. The encrypted sync chain is one of the things that elevates Brave's browser sync above the rest IMHO. I like the fact that I can create multiple sync chains for different groups of computers and the fact that I don't need an email that associates my browser data with an identifier.
